Way2pay Parents Dashboard
Introduction:
Way2Pay has been designed to help parents manage school payments from a planning and paying perspective. It offers ultimate convenience, enabling secure on-phone payments without passwords.
- Paying: most bills are paid without parents logging in. This is wonderfully convenient as you do NOT have to remember a password to access Way2Pay. You will receive an SMS/Text Message from the school requesting payment for various bills and activities. Each SMS has a unique code linking that request to your child.
- What to expect: ‘Please pay for your child’s (Ryan Boyd) school activity (Trip to Aran) by clicking on the following link’. You simply click on the link you are taken to your own dashboard listing any outstanding bills for Ryan.
- Planning Ahead: You can access the system at all times you can pay for school fees, trips and activities in installments over time. Many schools will send out payment requests early so that parents have a good chance to budget.
