Important note:  When adding a Family Note, it is very important to be sure "Family Note 1" are visible in the Notes box. This is because the Notes box has a second purpose of being a Student Line Comment box. Family Notes are visible only to school administrators who are Wordware District Site Users and are meant to store internal messages. Student Line Comments are visible to the cashiers/point of sale operators in the serving line. Student Line Comments are created by clicking on "Show Comments"  in the Student Detail box, as seen here:
