Now you can! KPBSD is working with RevTrak, which allows parents and other interested parties to make online payments to the district, via a computer or mobile device.<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #008080\">Food service payments<\/span><br \/>\n<\/strong>Online payment for food services is now available for all KPBSD schools. Online payments are processed in real time; this means that someone could make a payment in the morning, and the funds would be available for the student when he or she goes to lunch that day.<br \/>\n<strong><span style=\"color: #008080\">Student activity fees<\/span><br \/>\n<\/strong>Kenai Central High School and Ninilchik School are piloting the receipt of online payments for student activities, such as class fees, activity participation fees, donations, lost book fees and so forth. Additional schools are going live in coming weeks.<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008080\"><strong>To make a payment<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nParents or other people making payments can access a student record in three ways to make payments:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Use of the PowerSchool parent portal<\/li>\n<li>Through the KPBSD website <em>online payments<\/em> link on the <em><a href=\"https:\/\/kpbsd.revtrak.net\/tek9.asp\">Students-Parents tab <\/a><\/em><\/li>\n<li>Via the <em>online payments<\/em> icon on the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kpbsd.k12.ak.us\/communications.aspx?id=31262\">KPBSD mobile app<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u201cThe district has had many requests for some type of online payment capability, so we are glad to be able to offer this service for students and we hope it will be helpful,\u201d said Laurie Olson, director of finance. \u201cLiz Hayes in our finance department together with Eric Soderquist and David Henson in information services have worked since last summer to get this online and functioning; they are the main reason we are able to offer this service.\u201d<br \/>\nNote: there is a 3.61% processing fee calculated on all payments, no exceptions. This is the actual cost of the processing fee from RevTrak, and is not a source of revenue for the district.<br \/>\n###<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/communications.blogs.kpbsd.k12.ak.us\/wpmu\/files\/2015\/04\/KPBSD-web-store.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1801 size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/communications.blogs.kpbsd.k12.ak.us\/wpmu\/files\/2015\/04\/KPBSD-web-store-1024x690.png\" alt=\"KPBSD web store\" width=\"517\" height=\"348\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>News Release Kenai Peninsula Borough School District Contact: Pegge Erkeneff, 907.714.8888 Soldotna, April 21, 2015\u2014\u201cMom, I forgot my lunch money!\u201d Have you ever wanted to add money to a school &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/kpbsd.org\/schools\/comm-test\/2015\/04\/21\/news-release-kpbsd-launches-new-system-to-accept-online-payments\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;News Release: KPBSD launches new system to accept online payments&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":126,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[8,17],"tags":[750,890,984,1103],"class_list":["post-1798","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-communications","category-news-release","tag-online-payments","tag-school-lunch","tag-student-activities","tag-web-store"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kpbsd.org\/schools\/comm-test\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1798","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kpbsd.org\/schools\/comm-test\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kpbsd.org\/schools\/comm-test\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kpbsd.org\/schools\/comm-test\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/126"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kpbsd.org\/schools\/comm-test\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1798"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kpbsd.org\/schools\/comm-test\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1798\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kpbsd.org\/schools\/comm-test\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1798"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kpbsd.org\/schools\/comm-test\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1798"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kpbsd.org\/schools\/comm-test\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1798"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
