Bluffton Schools changing payment system effective February 1
Bluffton Schools will be transitioning to PaySchools for lunch and school fee payments starting on February 1:
"We have experienced many problems with EZpay and Mealsplus payment systems which were not processing well together.
"In preparation for this change, we need to deposit money into each individual student's account from any family account. Payschools will have individual accounts only; however, parents can make deposits into multiple individual accounts at the same time at checkout.
"Starting Feb. 1 you will be able to create a new account in Payschools from our web site, you will need the student ID # that students use each day when going through the lunch line to set up the account.
"We will send more information on the PaySchools system next week, but the transition should go smoothly. If you have any questions, please call:
Bluffton High School
419-358-7941
Bluffton Middle School
419-358-7961
Bluffton Elementary School
419-358-7951
"Also, please note that you can always send in a check for lunches and fees if you want; you are not required to use the Schoolpay system. Please do not make any future payments in a family account and please stop any form of autopay under the current system."
