 Do
you often hear, “I need money for lunch or a field trip,” as
your child heads out the door to school? Or would you like to
register and pay for Adult Education classes right from your
home? Well now it's all a click or two away!
We have implemented an online payment system where you can pay
for items online through this website. PaySchools is a secure
online payment processing system that lets you pay for school
lunch cards, field trips, Enrichment programs and Adult
Education classes by electronic check or credit card anytime,
anywhere.
Background
PaySchools is a system initiated and supported by the Iowa
School Board Association and has extended into 26 states. We are
very pleased to be able to bring this option to the West Islip
School District.
PaySchools will relieve the district of some of the “burdens” of
collecting checks, simplify the record-keeping processes at the
school and provide convenience for parents. The PaySchools
system also maintains a record of purchases for the user to
access.
PaySchools uses “Secure Sockets Layer” (SSL) software that
requires passwords throughout the program and does not store
personal bank or credit card information to ensure privacy and
security for users.
You must create a username and password to make payments. There
is a one-time set up registration for each child that you will
be making payments for.

 Getting Started
- Click on the icon to go to the PaySchools site.
- Click the category link - (i.e. school lunch, Adult
Education, Field Trips, etc.) A list of all items available for
purchase will be displayed.
- Select the item. As you select items to add to your shopping
cart you will need to add your student to assign the fee to the
proper child (see # 8 below). If you have more then one child in
the same school, please make sure that you add each selection
separately (each with a quantity of 1) so you can assign a
different child to each line. You are only allowed to assign one
child to each line, no matter what the quantity is.
- Click the "Add to Cart" button of the desired item.
- Click the "Check Out" button.
- At the Check Out screen users are asked to enter an
E-mail Address and Password.
- First time users must register at this point. Please
record your password somewhere for future reference – the
school district will not have access to your password. (The
PaySchools site can help you retrieve a forgotten password.)
- You must complete a registration for each child that you
will be making payments for. Enter each child's first and
last name and grade (required information to register each
child).
- Once the student has been added to the account you may simply
select them from the drop-down menu for future purchases for
that person. Once you are registered, you can then pay by
e-check or credit card.
Payments by e-check will be directly debited from your bank
account. You will need to enter your bank’s routing number and
personal bank account number.
For payments made by credit card, you must enter the account
number and expiration date for your VISA, MasterCard or Discover
credit card. After you complete your purchase, a confirmation
receipt will be e-mailed to you.
