New Payment System Brings Online Convenience to
Jeffco School District Parents

It’s the mark of our times: the merging of the Internet with our day-to-day business.   Now, the Jeffco School District is among the first school systems in the country to bring that convenience to its parents by offering a new online payment processing system, PaySchools.

Through this system, parents can access PaySchools through the school’s Web site to pay for school-related fees and products online, either by e-check or MasterCard, Visa or Discover cards.  The parent will immediately receive an e-mail receipt confirming their purchase(s).  The only fee for using the service is a $2.00 convenience fee per transaction. This fee helps Jeffco Schools cover the cost of implementation and maintenance of this system.

PaySchools offers parents the ease of being able to make payments 24 hours a day/seven days a week, the security of knowing the school receives payments, the protection of sensitive account information [credit card and bank account numbers are not stored in the database], and the convenience of having records of purchases and payments available online.
