Parents and Families,
Help us kick off our first fundraiser of the year by showing your BCMS spirit! Purchase your BCMS apparel and support our school community. A portion of every purchase (10%) will go directly toward student celebrations and special activities throughout the school year. Thank you for your support!

We are excited to announce that Fulton County Schools is transitioning from Online School Payments (OSP) to SchoolCash Online as our new online payment platform.

We encourage all families to register for a SchoolCash Online account as soon as possible and add your student(s) to your account.

Register here:

https://fultonschools.schoolcashonline.com/

Once your student is linked, you will be able to view and pay for school fees and activities online.

PLEASE NOTE: If you are new to Fulton County Schools, it may take a couple of days for your student to appear in the SchoolCash system after enrollment.

IMPORTANT DIFFERENCES BETWEEN SCHOOLCASH ONLINE AND OSP

• With OSP, parents could select a school and view all available school fees and activities.
• With SchoolCash Online, fees and items are assigned directly to individual students.
• When you log in to SchoolCash Online and select your student, you will see all BCMS items currently available for that student.

You may see two types of items on your student's account:

Mandatory Items (examples below)

• Band, Chorus and Orchestra Activity Fee (for the students enrolled those classes)
• Other required course or program fees, as applicable

Optional Items (examples below)

• School dances
• Field trips
• Special events and activities

Please be aware that optional items will automatically be removed from your account once the event date has passed, so we encourage families to make payments before registration deadlines.

We appreciate your patience and support as we make this transition.

What does this mean for parents?

• Parents do not have to fill out any meal application forms for their children attending your school.
• Parents do not have to pay any money for their child’s school breakfast or school lunch.
• If parents want their child to buy extra portions or snacks from the school café, they must send money or place money on their child’s meal account.
