Online Payment Available for School and Transportation Fees
We use a fee management system called Rycor to streamline school and transportation fee payment processes for families and school administrators. Rycor is accessible through the PowerSchool Parent Portal. With a few simple mouse clicks families can view assessed fees, print receipts and account statements, and pay for all of their children in a single transaction.
If you are a family with several children at multiple schools, they will all appear together under your account.
Please refer to the Online Payment Parent User Guide for instructions on how to log into the PowerSchool Parent Portal and pay school fees online.
What do I need to make Payments Online?
You will need a PowerSchool Parent account. If you currently have an account, you will use the same username and password to login to the Rycor Online Payments website.
Securing a PowerSchool Account
If you do not have a PowerSchool Parent account, please contact your school for information on how to set up an account.
What are the Methods of Online Payment?
You can pay with Visa, Visa Debit, and MasterCard.
Which Fees can be Paid Online?
Fees for optional courses, transportation fees for ineligible students, activity fees (field trips), extra-curricular fees and non-curricular travel are all examples of fees that can be paid online. Payments for sale of school items such as yearbooks and school “spirit wear” can also be made online.

Paying Offline
If you wish to pay offline, you must still create a PowerSchool Parent Portal. Once you can see your child’s data in your account, you can then pay via cheque or cash at your school.
Waiver of School Fees Application
Parents may apply for a waiver of certain student fees in cases where they are unable to pay the fees due to financial hardship.
If you are experiencing financial hardship and wish to request a waiver of school fees, complete and sign Form 505-1 Waiver of School Fees Application. The application form is to be submitted to your school’s Principal.
The decision whether or not school fees will be waived is the responsibility of the Principal.
