We’re excited to announce that we are upgrading to a new version of e~Funds for Schools! This upgrade will be implemented with the Skyward Student Rollover on July 8th, 2025.
What's Changing?
Point of Sale (POS) Payments
POS payments will no longer be a two-step process of making the payment in e~Funds and entering the payment receipt in Skyward. This applies to both Food Service Payments and Student Fee Payments.
With POS 2.0, you’ll enter the payment in e~Funds POS 2.0, and it will be automatically applied to the student’s Skyward account—saving time and reducing errors.
Online Student Fee Payments
The online payment process for guardians is also improving.
Current Process: Guardians create a “shopping cart” in Skyward, then are redirected to e~Funds to complete the payment.
New Process: Guardians will create their “shopping cart” and complete the payment—all within e~Funds for Schools.
What Do Schools Need to Do?
In preparation for the transition to POS 2.0, secondary schools must review their bill codes and deactivate any codes that are no longer in use.
Will Training Be Offered?
Yes! We will offer multiple opportunities for office staff to be trained on e~Funds POS 2.0. Dates will be announced in a future JAM. We are also working on a tutorial to share with your parents that details the new functionality available when paying fees online.
