TouchBase | Online Payments
-
Our online payments portal is a bit more than a place to make payments – we trust you’ll find it a key tool when managing your account or your students account!
What is this new application?
InTouch Receipting and TouchBase Online Payments are part of a cutting edge software package the district has implemented to streamline the management, reporting, and accountability of your student’s financial record, as well as making it easy on our customers – the parents – to pay student fines and fees, or purchasing items - all in one portal.
As a parent, this new application allows you to access your students’ account online using a computer, via your favorite mobile device, or in person, at any one of our school locations.
As a parent/customer, you’ll be able to:
- Pay for fines and/or fees online
- View/print/save your student/customer ledger
- View/print/save your receipts
- Purchase items online
Thank you for using our online payments portal: TouchBase.

I have a fine on my student's account. Why would my student have a fine?
There are several reasons why your student may have a fine. The online payments application is integrated to each school’s finance office, and many other district systems send the online payments application data. The most common reasons for why a fine is on a student’s account are:
- A student lost or damaged a library/textbook
- A class fee wasn’t paid
- A student damaged school property
- A student didn’t pay a field trip fee, a club due, etc. on time.
If there is a fine on your account, certain items may be restricted for purchase until the fine/fines are paid.

Where do I pay for my student's lunch?
Student meals can be paid for using SchoolCafe.

How does the district determine course fee amounts?
