Meals and school lunches
Plan the week’s dinners, keep the school lunch menu in one place, and let kids pick what they’ll have.
Add the school lunch menu
- On Meals, tap + Add a school menu. Name it, choose which meal, and who eats from it.
- Then send Rumpus the menu in chat: a photo, the PDF, the school’s email, or a link to the menu page. It puts every choice on its day.
- Send each new menu when the school puts it out.
Kids pick their lunch
- On their Today screen, a child sees Your meals: today’s dinner and the next school lunch.
- They tap what they want. Tapping another choice changes it.
- Bringing lunch from home? Tap 🎒 Pack my own and type what’s in it. It shows as “Packing my own: …”, and tapping it again changes it.
- Grown-ups can pick for a child too, on Meals.
The evening reminder
- Around 6 in the evening, a child who hasn’t picked tomorrow’s school lunch gets one reminder.
- If the child doesn’t get notifications on any device, the grown-ups are told instead.
- To stop it, switch off Lunch picks in Settings, Notifications.
