Paying School Fees
As we begin a new school year, a reminder that school fees are now due. Our school fees are as follows:
- All students: $40 School Activity Fee
- Grade 3 & 4 English students: $7 Agenda Fee
Parents can pay their fees using the instructions below:
Red Deer Catholic Regional Schools (RDCRS) is pleased to advise the RYCOR Online payments are accessible through the PowerSchool Parent Portal.
Methods of payment include Visa, Visa Debit, MasterCard and Debit Mastercard.
Please note: Interac Debit cards cannot be processed online at this time.
How do I use RYCOR Online Payments?
Visit our school’s website
Click on the sidebar link to access PowerSchool
Sign in using your PowerSchool Username and Password
Click on link, “School Fees and Forms”, located on the left hand side
Please follow the instructions provided on screen when you are taken to RYCOR. If you have any questions, please contact the office.
What if I don’t have a PowerSchool Account Yet?
Visit our school’s website
Click on the sidebar link to access PowerSchool
Click on Create Account -located beside the Sign in Tab
Complete the top portion with name, username, password and your email address
You will be asked for a “Net Access ID” and “Net Access Password” for at least one child registered with RDCRS
The ID and Password are specific to each individual student. (If you do not have these handy, please contact the school office for assistance.)
What if I have more than one child to pay fees for?
All students within the RDCRS division must be linked in your PowerSchool Parent Account in order for them to appear together under the online payment parent account. With a few simple mouse clicks, parents can view assessed fees, any outstanding balances, and pay for all of their children in a single transaction.
Will the school continue to accept school fee payments by cash?
Yes, however, it is our long-term goal to have all fees paid using RYCOR Online Payments. RYCOR will provide Parents/Guardians with the convenience and ease of making payments from the comfort of your home, 24hrs a day.
Thank you for your support in using RYCOR Online Payment! If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the school office.
