Getting Ready for the New Academic Year

Use the following topics to help you get ready for the start of the new academic year:

1. Create Staff Member Accountsin IRIS BioStore Portal and assign the correct Roles and Permissions.

3. Assign allergen information to new students and staff members.
4. Review the settings for allowances, such as Free School Meals (FSM) and so on.
5. Update available items and make sure they have categories assigned.
6. Add new menus or review and update existing menus.
7. Set up the calendar:

   2. Set school holiday dates.
