New Payment System:

We are excited to inform you that Beaconsfield Junior High will be transitioning to RYCOR, a new online payment and forms system, in December. This system will make it more convenient for parents/guardians and the school community to complete forms and make payments online using any smart device. RYCOR integrates with Powerschool to make things as simple as possible for parents. It accepts the following methods of payment:

• VISA

• Mastercard

• American Express

• Debit VISA

• Debit Mastercard

(payment online is strongly encouraged, however cash/cheque will still be accepted in unique circumstances)

RYCOR will allow parents/guardians to view their completed forms and payment history. A parent/guardian RYCOR account will include any school-aged children in your household,  regardless of the school they attend. (Please note that not all schools are transitioning to RYCOR in December).
