MPCS will be implementing the “pre-paid” student account feature of the FACTS system for our new student Eagle Cards. Parents may choose to add funds to the pre-paid Eagle Card account for each student. Remember, use of the Eagle Card is completely optional. If you choose to fund the card, it is a great way to begin teaching your kids about the wise use of money, and enable them the convenience of small purchases while at school without having to carry cash or credit cards.
To get started, here is what you should know and expect:
- Parents will receive an Eagle Card "invitation" email notice from FACTS asking that you make an online advance payment on your participating pre-pay student account(s).
- A minimum deposit of $50 is required to get started.
- In January 2022, Eagle Cards will be active and distributed to students in Bible classes.
- Eagle Cards can be used to make purchases on campus at the Roost, concessions, the Eagles Nest school store, and the new, soon-to-open “On The Fly” middle school snack cart. (The “On The Fly” middle school snack cart will only accept the Eagle Card for snack purchases in the middle school.)
- When a student makes a purchase, the charges reduce to your student’s prepay account daily, as incurred. You will be notified via email of the charges and type when applied.
- If your account falls below the minimum balance threshold of $10, you will receive a "low balance alert" to promptly replenish your account, if you so choose.
- If there is no money left in the Eagle Card prepay account, the student will not be able to make a purchase with this method of payment.
- Families can log in to their online account at any time to view their activity, payment history, etc.
- Contact the student accounts office with any questions.
We hope that the Eagle Card will provide teaching moments for our students, as well as the convenience of on-campus purchases at our student-run businesses. Thank you for your continued support of these innovative programs at MPCS.
