Where do I find the new payment portal?

The new payment portal, Rycor (formerly known as School Cash Online) can easily be accessed through the PowerSchool Parent Portal using your login credentials. Once you have logged in, scroll down on the left-hand side and click on school fees and forms. Clicking on this link will then take you to the payment portal where all your fees can be found.

School Supplies

What kind of supplies does a high school student need?

At the high school level, many students know what types of supplies they want and need, therefore we do not post a specific list.

With respect to what they might need beyond the regular binders, pens, pencils, etc...

  • For Math -1 and -2 students, they will require a Texas Instruments TI-84 calculator.
  • It is highly recommended that a student have their own robust device (a chromebook, laptop, or ipad w/keyboard and/or pencil/stylus).

Note:  The following is not mandatory... but it is something you may want to consider if you want to be paper-less. 
Our math and science teachers deliver their lessons using ipads and Apple pencils.  Many students are finding it very convenient to have the same, which will allow them to download the notes, and highlight, annotate, and work out problems right on the ipad.  They can also easily do their  homework on an ipad as well.
