We always send a check to school. No fees that way.

Go in person to school and pay directly to business office.

You don't need to go in person. You can have your kid hand a check in when they go to lunch.

Going in person or sending a check is not presented as an option at our ES. They told us to pay online.

Well it is an option even if they are not highlighting it. Send a check through backpack mail with your kid. Or just wait for the fees to accumulate and they will send you a bill, which you can pay by check.
