SchoolPay FAQ and Help Videos

SchoolPay is a comprehensive K12 payment service used by PSD to collect payments both on-line and in person from parents, community members, and district staff. The service offers the convenience of paying by Visa, MasterCard or Discover card online or on-site at schools. Cash and checks are also accepted on-site.

Log in to SchoolPay and click the "Create an Account” button. Enter your information, then your child’s name as it appears in school registration and student ID number. If you don't know your child’s student ID number, contact your child’s school.

Yes. SchoolPay accounts default to English, but you may select a preferred language. To change the language, select “Language” located in the upper right corner of the screen under the shopping cart. Translations are provided by Google Translate.

Funds in your child’s meal account at the end of the school year carry over to the next year in SchoolPay.

Yes. For food service transactions, a $1 transaction fee to partially offset the credit card processing fee is applied. For other credit or debit card payments, there is a convenience fee of 3.35% that applies whether the credit/debit payment is made online or on-site at a school. No fees are included with cash or check payments made on-site.

No. Though meal payments and payments for school fees and other charges are available for payment in SchoolPay in one convenient location, funds may not be transferred between the School Payments and Food Services sections of SchoolPay. Similarly, payments cannot be transferred from one fee to another.

Some, but not all, items are eligible for fee/charge waivers. To have fees/charges waived for eligible items, students must qualify for free or reduced-priced meals AND a parent/guardian must complete a Permission to Share Information for Fee/Charge Waivers and Programs to Receive Goods and Services form for the current school year. Items with fee/charge waivers must be selected for payment. The amount for these items will show $0.00 at checkout. You must go through the checkout process for these items for your child to receive the item, service, or to participate in the activity.

Yes. SchoolPay is web-based and payments can be made from any computer or mobile device.

You’ll see a list of items available for payment. You select the items for payment based on the classes your child is enrolled in, activities your child will be participating in and/or the merchandise you wish to purchase. Fees/charges associated with participating in an activity or receiving goods must be paid or waived prior to your child participating in the activity or receiving the item. Items that are only paid once (such as athletic participation fees) will disappear from your list in SchoolPay once paid. Payment items such as for fundraisers or merchandise will still be listed whether or not paid to allow families to purchase/donate as often as wished. Refer to the Student Fees and Charges web page for more information.

Yes. To add a child to your account, click your first initial on the top right corner of the screen and select “Profile Management.” Select the “Student Management” tab from the options on the left.

Student-related purchases can only be made by a registered user. Friends and family members such as aunts/uncles, grandparents, etc. can each have their own account for the same child. To create an account, the individual will need your child’s name as it appears in the school registration and student ID number.

Contact your student’s school to request a void or refund. Voids can be processed the same day the payment is made. However, once a transaction has settled, a refund must be issued. Refunds can only be issued electronically within 90 days of the transaction; after 90 days, refunds are issued via check.

Yes. At the top of your account, hover your mouse over “History.” In the drop down, choose “Items Purchased.” A web page with “Order History Results” will show for the last 30 days of payments. If you’re looking for a specific date, you can change the date range on the left side of the page. You may narrow the search by student or by an item descriptor. Once you’ve changed information on the left side, click "Search" and you'll see your list of purchased items. NOTE: payments made at the school will only show if the office manager/bookkeeper emails you a receipt at the time of payment.
