Attendance using Daily/"Present" with Meal Counts (Monthly Entry Web Version)

This feature is used to meet the required recordkeeping requirement for attendance records.


This entry method is not time-restricted. This method assumes that original attendance and meal counts are being taken on paper and then transferred in to My Food Program.

To use this feature:

  • Click on "Monthly Bulk Entry by Name" from the main dashboard
  • Select the Month and click "Done"
  • Select the participant. 
    • Active participants are listed alphabetically by last name followed by inactive participants alphabetically by last name.
  • Click "Submit" to load the page.
  • Click the box that says "Attendance" next to each day of the month on which the participant attended.

Click the button next to each meal that the child or adult day care client attended that month. The button will start out grey and when you click, it will turn green.

Depending on your site setup, you may see one or more of the following buttons:

  • Click "Save"
    • Meal counts will not be saved if there is no corresponding daily attendance. The system will highlight those for you when you try to save.
