Driven to find a better way
SchoolCash was first imagined by our founders – two high school office administrators – over 20 years ago, who knew “there had to be a better way”. Picture their school environment: Over 1,400 students, 100 teachers, and an office that wouldn’t stop. On any given day, endless flows of cash, checks, permission forms, and order forms burdened the office staff with time consuming and manual work. The demands of staying on top of every detail were overwhelming. So they took what they knew how to do on paper, and designed an application to automate the process. They didn’t set out to build an accounting solution, or an online payment system, or a comprehensive software suite for that matter, but rather they set out to give back precious time to their peers in similar roles, everywhere… and they succeeded.

And because it was well informed by school district finance leaders, it provides the transparency, visibility, reporting capabilities and peace of mind that school district business officials require.
Loved by the parent community
Among all of the components, the powerful online parent payment system, SchoolCash Online, is a parent favorite. It provides an unparalleled experience for the parent community, shifting their experience from the messiness of cash and check payments to the convenience of online payments. At the same time, it transforms the need for parents to submit information to their schools through cumbersome paper based forms to smart and simple online digital forms. No more papers crunched at the bottom of backpacks, and no more missed notifications. The simplicity of it all has been so well received, it has driven parent usage rates in some schools to as high as 100%! And like never before, parents feel more connected, informed and engaged in school activities and events.
