EISD has
contracted with PaySchools to provide an opportunity for
parents/guardians to purchase/pay for school services via the
Internet. The services that can be paid for with PaySchools
include library and textbook fines, yearbooks, parking passes, and
school supplies. The program will also allow users to add to
students' food service accounts online.
PaySchools was
created by the Iowa Association of School Boards and has grown to
serve schools throughout the country. To access EISD's
PaySchools page, go to our homepage,
www.eustaceisd.net, and look
for the PaySchools link. PaySchools charges the district 3.5%
of the total sales each month. Because of this, a convenience
fee will be added to any purchase made via PaySchools.
As the year
progresses, we are planning on having more items available through
PaySchools. If you have suggestions on items or services that
you would like to see available through PaySchools, please contact
Karen Thompson at (903) 425-5299 or via email at
kthompson@eustaceisd.net.

Update
How It Works
Access our online payment processing
system from our school’s Web site at www.eustaceisd.net. Then
enter the online store to make purchases of all available products
in this one location.
The first time you access PaySchools,
you will be asked to create a username and password. After you
login, simply select the item(s) you wish to purchase then choose to
pay by e-check or credit card. To pay by e-check (directly
debiting your bank account), you will enter your bank’s ABA routing
number and personal bank account number. To make your purchase
by credit card, enter the account number and expiration date for
your VISA, MasterCard or Discover credit card. After you
complete your purchase, an e-mail confirmation and receipt will
immediately be sent to you. PaySchools uses “Secure Sockets
Layer” (SSL) software, requires passwords throughout the program,
and does not store personal bank or credit card information to
ensure privacy and security for users.
