Office and Billing Procedures

Forms of Payment: The office can only accept cash and checks. (Note: The office staff has done extensive research about whether it would be possible to accept credit cards and/or online payments. At this time, the only solutions available would create significantly more costs, be more labor-intensive for office staff, create potential problems with the school auditor, and are therefore not feasible. However, your bank offers the same benefits for free, and we encourage you to take advantage of this service.)
 
Use Your Bank's Convenient Features: For all school bills, we recommend using your bank’s automatic bill pay feature. We can help you estimate your monthly expenses for each program. You can set up your bank to automatically mail us a check and deduct the money from your account on your chosen day (for example, on the day after your paycheck is deposited). This eliminates the need for you to remember your checkbook, come by the office, and wait for your check to clear. Alternatively, you can provide us with postdated checks for future months. We will deposit each of your checks within two weeks of its date.

Our mailing address is P.O. Box H, Davenport, CA 95017.
 
To simplify our accounting and invoicing process, please use different checks for payments for each of the different programs listed below.
 
Student Lunches: Our award-winning FoodLab program costs more to run than the amount we are reimbursed by the federal and state government. If you would like to support our program, we encourage you to set up an automatic payment using your bank each month. If you would like to pay $3.50 per lunch for one student all year, that would be $63 per month August-May. Obviously, any amount more or less than this would also be appreciated.
  
Adult Lunches: Adults and non-enrolled siblings or other guests may purchase one or more guest meals in advance from the school office.
 
Preschool: Tuition is due for the nine months from September through May. Families should pay in advance for each month. The easiest option is to set up autopay with your bank. (Alternatively, you may provide nine post-dated checks at the beginning of the year. The office will deposit each check in the first half of the appropriate month.) Families will be invoiced by email only if necessary. Families are also welcome to pay for multiple months in advance.
 
After School Recreation (Little Rec and Big Rec): Fees for the previous month will be totaled and families will receive an invoice by email.
 
Late Payment Policy: Families who accrue unpaid balances for any Pacific School program may be asked to stop participating in that program until the balance is paid in full. Please do your part and reduce the workload for the office staff by paying all fees promptly using cash or separate checks. Thank you.
