District 196 phasing out FeePay, exploring other options
Dear District 196 Families,
On Wednesday, February 18, the Board of Directors of Sourcewell Technology unanimously agreed to discontinue the FeePay fee management and online payment portal used by approximately 40 school districts in Minnesota and Wisconsin.
We will continue to use FeePay through this school year and plan to have a replacement service in place for the start of the 2020-21 school year this fall. Even before Wednesday’s announcement, district staff had started researching platforms to replace FeePay, which is used to place money in students’ meal accounts, pay school fees and register for activities. Sourcewell Technologies has committed to support districts in our transition to a new service and we will keep you informed throughout the process.
The auto-pay feature is not currently available on FeePay, but users can request to receive low-balance email alerts when their child’s meal account dips below a level they select. We apologize for the inconvenience and frustration caused by the FeePay service and will continue to work with you to resolve any issues you may be having; call 651-423-7707 for assistance.
We ask for your patience in making this change to a new online payment and registration service this year.
Thank you.
Mark Stotts
District 196 Director of Finance and Operations
Estimadas familias del Distrito 196,
El miércoles 18 de febrero, la Junta Directiva de Sourcewell Technology acordó unánimemente descontinuar el servicio de gestión de cuentas y el portal de pagos en línea de Fee Pay utilizado por aproximadamente 40 distritos escolares en Minnesota y Wisconsin.
Continuaremos usando el portal de FeePay hasta el final del año escolar con planes de tener un servicio de reemplazo para el comienzo del año escolar 2010-21 en el otoño. Incluso antes del anuncio del miércoles 18 de febrero, el personal del distrito había comenzado a investigar plataformas para reemplazar FeePay, que es el sistema que se utiliza para depositar dinero en las cuentas de comida de los estudiantes, pagar cuotas escolares e inscribirse en actividades. Sourcewell Technologies se ha comprometido en apoyar a los distritos durante la transición a un nuevo servicio. Los mantendremos informados durante todo el proceso.
La función de pago automático en FeePay no esta disponible en estos momentos, pero los usuarios pueden solicitar que les envíen alertas por correo electrónico cuando los balances de las cuentas de sus hijos tengan un saldo por debajo del que usted seleccione en el sistema. Nos disculpamos por cualquier inconveniencia o frustración causadas por el servicio de FeePay. Nosotros continuaremos trabajando con ustedes ayudándolos con cualquier problema que puedan tener. Por favor llame al 651-423-7707 para asistencia
Les pedimos su paciencia durante el cambio a un nuevo servicio de pagos y registros en línea.
Gracias.
Think Summer 2020!
CAHOOTS 2020 Summer Program
CAHOOTS math and language arts in one book … a great value!
Parents, Community Education is pleased to be offering CAHOOTS, a K-5 summer math and language arts correspondence workbook program.
The program is portable, flexible and designed to closely match our district curriculum through an engaging and reflective approach to learning. After completing each lesson and checking answers online, students complete an assignment reflection and send to a CAHOOTS Buddy who will send a written response back.
You will receive a letter which includes enrollment instructions the week of March 2. Cost is $42. Final registration is due April 3.
It is recommended students work on the grade level they will be entering in the fall (i.e. 1st grade is a review of kindergarten), to review and reinforce skills learned during the school year. Please discuss with your child’s teacher, if you feel another level may be more suitable. Sample workbooks are available to view in your school office.
CAHOOTS should not be considered a replacement for participating in summer school, if your child qualifies. CAHOOTS is not intended to replace regular reading for enjoyment or math activities that strengthen your child’s fluency and love for math.
