Avoid Modifying These Settings After Accepting Applications For The School Year
All settings in this area of the admin should be determined during the initial setup of the District for the new school year. In almost all situations, these settings should NOT be changed during the school year as they can affect the validity of the applications submitted online. MCS Software will assist your District during initial setup in order to ensure these settings are valid for your District's Free and Reduced application configuration.
On the Application settings page, if you do not wish to change a setting, please leave it blank to allow the default settings. You can keep the defaults or change these settings as needed. We recommend reviewing each setting to make certain that they are applicable to your District. In particular, please review and update the 'contact', 'meal prices' and 'application instructions' fields. If you have any questions, please consult our support team by submitting a support case to ensure you are applying the correct values for your District.
