Payment Partners Inc. Becomes School Solutions Partner with American Association of School Administrators

In 2009, American Association of School Administrators (AASA) established the School Solutions Center with two goals in mind: help school districts save money and improve student performance.   Payment Partners, Inc. is pleased to be selected as the online payment processor for AASA and its membership.  Through the use of Pay4SchoolStuffOnline.com, the flagship payment website for PPI, school districts are offered the opportunity to utilize a web-based tool to coordinate all of their school fee and payments in an easy to use, secure platform. Enhanced, customizable features allow school districts to set the dates, cost and limits of payment items, and eliminates the need for postage and the mailing of membership and registration forms.

No More Postage!

Many administrators are saving hundreds in postage by posting forms and other documents online as attachments to no-cost items.  Upload MS Word .DOC, Acrobat .PDF, .JPG or .PNG files. Parents can simply login and download the file, and fill out and email or fax back if requested.  What a great way to distribute notices and forms – and it’s all at no-cost!  Who knows, the parents may be so pleased they may make an extra contribution to their favorite booster club?

After School Programs

Many schools are using Pay4SchoolStuffOnline to offer after school enrichment and remedial classes.   By first posting pre-registration for classes as no-cost items, administrators can easily determine if minimum class sizes will be met prior to offering registration for them.  This eliminates the need to handle refunds for classes that are less popular and would have been canceled due to low enrollment.

Inventory and date controls determine seat limits and payment windows, and furnish immediate class rosters—without refunds!

Great idea for the "Choices" pull down menu

A high school in Virginia came up with a great idea for using the "Choices" pull down menu.  They were doing a mulch sale as a fundraiser, and needed to know where to deliver the mulch.  As parents were ordering mulch, they could select one of seven places to deliver the mulch at their house.  Choices included at the end of the driveway, front yard, etc.

Do you have any 'out of the box' ways you've used the Choices pull down to gather information from parents?  Please leave a comment and share it with us!
