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


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.

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

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