SchoolCafe Staff Accounts

School staff can now set up their SchoolCafe Family Hub account. This will give staff the ability to add funds to their account for the Blues Café food purchases on campus using only their school ID badges. Note: Staff will no longer be able to purchase items on credit (the big spreadsheet) beginning February 2nd.

January 27, 2026, will be the first day that everyone will be able to use their ID badges to purchase food from the Blues Café. They will still be able to use cash or credit card for the remainder of this school year as an alternative, but next year (2026-2027), SchoolCafe will be the only option.
