Online Payment Available for School and Transportation Fees
We use a fee management system called Rycor to streamline school and transportation fee payment processes for families and school administrators. Rycor is accessible through the PowerSchool Parent Portal. With a few simple mouse clicks families can view assessed fees, print receipts and account statements, and pay for all of their children in a single transaction.
If you are a family with several children at multiple schools, they will all appear together under your account.
Please refer to the Online Payment Parent User Guide for instructions on how to log into the PowerSchool Parent Portal and pay school fees online.

Waiver of School Fees Application
Parents may apply for a waiver of certain student fees in cases where they are unable to pay the fees due to financial hardship.
If you are experiencing financial hardship and wish to request a waiver of school fees, complete and sign Form 505-1 Waiver of School Fees Application. The application form is to be submitted to your school’s Principal.
The decision whether or not school fees will be waived is the responsibility of the Principal.
For more information on Student Fees please refer to Administrative Procedure 505 – Student Fees.
Linsford Park School is committed to providing quality and affordable education and exceptional learning environments for our students.
