Parents will be able to see the school fees for the year on their PowerSchool ParentPortal. (You must use a browser, not the app, to see school fees and report cards.)
As some parents like to budget across the entire school year, all the main fees for the year are put on at the start of the school year (some items, like attending the ski/snowboard trip, or losing a Library book, are entered as they occur), but there is no pressure for families to pay 100% of the fees right away. When you go into your ParentPortal, you can see the fees listed, and have a choice to either pay the entire amount due, or choose a specific amount to pay (the system will then allocate the money based on date the fee was added).
Please note that payments through the ParentPortal can only be with a Visa or Mastercard, and a 2.4% surcharge is added by PowerSchool. Payment can also be made with cash or cheques (including post-dated cheques) in the school office; cheques should be made payable to "St. Albert School Division". Again, we can take payments in the office for whatever amounts you wish to pay at the time (please note that we won't likely have change).
For full-day kindergarten parents, you can choose that one individual fee and add it to your cart, and it will give you the option of automatically splitting up the payments. This is the only fee that works for, so if there is anything else in your cart it won't work.
If you have any questions, or need help accessing your ParentPortal, please call the office at 780-459-3114 and we will be happy to assist.
