The School District of Philadelphia is excited to announce that our schools can now accept online payments from parents through SchoolCash Online.

By minimizing cash and check payments at our schools, we can increase safety & security in the schools, allow staff to focus on students, and make life more convenient for teachers and parents:

• Keep track of your child's school items and activity fees

• Check your account history

• View and print receipts

• Pay for school fees with a simple click

Visit https://philasd.schoolcashonline.com or use the QR code below. After you have signed up, you will receive notifications of upcoming events and items involving your child, including: field trips, yearbooks, spirit wear, athletic fees, and more. Enjoy the convenience of making payments from the convenience of your phone, home or office.

Benefits to parents and schools

SchoolCash Online helps parents and community members pay school-related fees safely, quickly, and easily. In addition to convenience for yourself, you will help increase efficiency and security at our school by making payments directly into our school's bank account. This allows teachers and secretaries to focus on helping students, and not counting cash. In addition, you are immediately informed about school activities!

How to create a SchoolCash Online account

The process has two steps: 1) You create a free SchoolCash Online account; 2) You attach your student(s) to your profile to pay for their fees/items and receive automated notifications about fee availability and due dates.

There are two ways for parents to create an account:

• Our SchoolCash system sends an invitation email to primary guardians, who can click a link to start the registration process and attach their student(s) to their profile.

• Any parent can create an account by visiting our district's SchoolCash Online page: https://philasd.schoolcashonline.com.

How it works

Powered by KEV Group, SchoolCash Online is the industry leader in the safe and secure management of school fees. This system puts all of the school-related fees for your student online for purchase. Schools post their items and activities and assign the relevant fees to your student, so you can then make purchases online using your credit card or any Visa or Mastercard product. This allows you to stay informed about upcoming school activities while keeping track of the school fees that require your attention.

Our online payment system, SchoolCash Online, also will be sending some Primary Guardians an email in addition to this email.

If you are a Primary Guardian in the school's Student Information System and you don't yet have a SchoolCash Online account with that email address, you will receive an automated invitation from SchoolCash Online to create one. You can always create an account at any time by visiting https://philasd.schoolcashonline.com.

If you are a Primary Guardian in the school's Student Information System, and if you already have a SchoolCash Online account with that email address but you haven't yet linked your student(s) to your account, you will receive an automated email from SchoolCash Online for each unlinked child. This email will ask you to confirm that you want the system to automatically connect your child to your account.

If you are a Primary Guardian, once you have logged into SchoolCash Online, you will be able to share the child's access to other guardians.
