The Plainview Public School District is pleased to introduce a program called e~Funds for Schools. This program offers various options for parents/guardians who choose
to make payments online and is extremely user friendly. Not only will
you have the ability to have various school fees and lunch payments
electronically withdrawn from your checking account or charged to your
credit/debit card, you also have the flexibility to make a payment at
any time through the school’s website. In order to register, you will need to have your student's ID number.
The e~Funds for Schools electronic payment service is
provided to the school by a third party service provider. The service
provider has a nominal fee for their service. There is a $1.00 transaction convenience fee for each electronic checking payment that you make. The system carries a Non-Sufficient Funds (NSF) charge if the payment is “bad”. For payments made by credit or debit card, there is a flat transaction convenience fee of $2.65 / $100 per transaction. When you set up your account, please review your options carefully.
You are in full control of your account and can make a payment at any time that is convenient for you. No payment will be allowed without your knowledge and authorization through this secure payment system. By
providing your home and/or work email address, an email notification
informing you of the student’s name, the purpose of the payment, and the
amount of the item will be sent to you each time that a payment is to be
processed. The e-Funds for Schools site is secure and
uses industry standard data encryption. The district does not request or
keep records of family checking or credit account information.
How does e~Funds for Schools work?
o Families set up and maintain their
own logins, passwords, and payment preferences. Your account information
is retained in a password-protected file.
o e~Funds for Schools
will help to eliminate last minute check writing hassles, improve
efficiencies, and help cut costs for both you and the school district.
o Online payments will help eliminate
the worry that your children could lose or forget the money intended for
school items or that it might be spent on other non-school related
items.
o Payments from a credit/debit card or checking account may easily be set up.
o Parents/guardians may establish a recurring payment or may opt to make a one-time payment.
o The program offers various types of
payments to families that include but are not limited to; instructional
materials, field trip fees, yearbook fees, graduation fees, and of
course, food service payments. The system may be expanded to include
other fees as well.
