Cafeteria

Our cafeteria offers a variety of options for lunch. Students can preorder hot meals, salads and sandwiches or select from an array of snacks and drinks. 
Most Common Items Price List   

Students must order hot meals a week in advance via a Google form that is updated weekly and distributed in the Daily Announcement e-mail. The deadline to order is every Friday at 2:30 PM. The student does not have to order all five days; he/she can pick and choose based on the menu which days to order. It is required that your student is logged in to his/her Loyola Google account to fill out the form. Log in to Google here. Locate the most recent order form here in the Daily Announcements. 
Note: Due to our vendor agreement with our Cafe provider, fast food or delivery are not allowed. Lunch should either be ordered from the Cafe, or brought from home.  No exceptions.

All Loyola students have a lunch account that is used to make purchase in the cafeteria. Parents can add funds to their students lunch account on the My School Bucks website (fees apply) or by bringing cash or check to the Anderson Building. 

On the My School Bucks site, you can add funds to your student's account, view your student's transactions, set up automatic payments to the account and alerts for when the balance drops to a certain level. Setting up an account is easy. Click on the My School Bucks Instructions below for a walkthrough. Your MSB log in will also be used to purchase items and pay fees through the school store.

When setting up your My School Bucks account, when prompted during set up, select Louisiana for the state and then Loyola College Prep for the district. When adding your student, select St. Vincent's Hall for the school selection and enter your student's information. NOTE: Funds from other Diocesean schools will not automatically transfer to Loyola. You must contact the former school for a refund. 

Students whose lunch balance is more than $20.00 in the negative will not be able to access their grades or transcripts in the My School Portal.  

Emails are sent daily to those students who owe money on their lunch account. My School Bucks will also send out Statements of Account to students with negative balances. 

If your student is in need of financial assistance for lunch fees, please contact the Accounting office at sjenkins@loyolaprep.org or 318-226-6293.

My School Bucks Instructions

• How do Students pay for cafeteria items?
  • Students scan their ID in the cafeteria to charge items to their account. All students were given a barcode sticker to put on the back of their ID. If they need a new sticker, please email Ms. Smith at [email protected].
• Can my student bring their own lunch or can I bring them take out?
  • Students can bring a lunch from home but fast food or deliveries are not allowed.
• Are there microwaves available for student use?
  • Yes, the cafeteria has 2 microwaves for students. We ask that students cover their food, clean up after themselves and do not heat anything with foil or any sort of metal. 
• Can my student pay with cash in the cafeteria when they purchase food?
  • No, the cafeteria does not take money for lunch accounts. Cash and check can be paid at the Anderson Building.
• The lunch order form says I need to have permission to place an order for my student. How do I get permission?
  • Orders must be placed from a Loyola email. You will need to be logged into your students Loyola Google account to place their order. Please ask your student for the log in information. 
• I have autopay set up. Why did my students account not refill when the balance got to the threshhold?
  • That is a quirk with My School Bucks. When an account has autopay set up, the balance must be above the trigger threshhold for at least 24 hours before the autopay will function. So in the below example, the threshhold is set for $30 to be paid when the balance is less than $10. The autopay triggered on 10/25 when the balance dropped to $-.85. Then the student purchased $20.90 in items on 10/25 bringing the balance below $10, but in less than a 24 hour period. So now the autopay will not work. A separate payment will need to be made to bring that balance above $10 and will need to remain above $10 for 24 hours and the autopay will resume.
  • 
• Can I deactivate my students account so they cannot make any cafeteria purchases?
  • No, if we deactivate their cafeteria account, it will prevent you from being able to use My School Bucks to pay fees, purchase club and athletic items etc, that requires a student selection. 
• Will/Can the money I put in my students lunch account be used to make purchases in the MSB school store? (fees, shirts etc.)
  • No, lunch money is separate from the school store and cannot be used anywhere but in the cafeteria.
• Can I transfer money from one student to another (siblings)?
  • Yes, you can. Please email [email protected] to request money be moved to a siblings account.
