​​​​​​Payments and Billing

  • All families are required to create an account on MySchoolBucks.com and register their students in the system regardless of your chosen payment method. Our new EDEP student database is integrated with MySchoolBucks, powered by Heartland, and we cannot document or process payments until this account setup is complete.
  • All EDEP services must be pre-paid. 
  • Payments received after 4:30 pm will be posted to the next business day.
  • No refunds or credits will be made for unused days. Days are not transferable to the next school year. Days purchased for an individual student may not be transferred to another student.
