How do I log in?

(1) If you're having trouble logging into PaySchools Central, close and re-open your browser. If you cannot remember your password, click the "I forgot my password" link on the login screen to reset your password through email, text, or phone call. (2) If you're not getting the password verification email, please check your junk or spam folder to make sure PaySchools emails aren't being routed there. If you're not receiving either the verification or password reset email, please ensure that you are using the same email address you entered on the PaySchools website. (3) If you received a link to confirm your account or to reset your password, but the link is not working, this is most likely because 30 minutes have passed, and the link has expired. Please click "I forgot my password" on the login screen to send a new link to your email. (4) If you find a PaySchools email in your junk or spam folder, please mark it as "not spam" so all future emails are routed to your inbox.

How do I add a student to my account?

PaySchools receive student information from our district, so the information must match, or the system will not find your student. Please contact us directly to tell you exactly how the information is entered in our system. You can only have ONE school district associated with your account. If you have students in different school districts that utilize PaySchools Central, you will need to create additional accounts with different email addresses for each district.
