School Cash Online Payment Platform

We are excited to announce that Queen of Angels is now offering School Cash Online - a new way to pay for School expenses. School Cash Online provides you with the convenience of paying online with a Credit Card or Debit Card for a variety of school items. This platform will allow parents, grandparents and others to pay online for field trips, athletic fees, school plays and concerts or any other items available for students to purchase. School Cash Online is the preferred method of payment and is intended to enhance on-line safety and efficiency within the District for both parents and staff.

Please follow the link in Step 1, below, to register online – it takes less than 5 minutes! Once you have registered your student, you will be able to see all items posted online for purchase. You also have the option to be notified whenever your child has a new school expense added.

To set up an account and explore the system, please follow the instructions below.

Step 1: Click on this link: https://cisdv.schoolcashonline.com/

Step 2: “Register” button and follow the instructions.

Step 3: After you receive the confirmation email, log in and add each of your school-age children to your household account. To do this, you will need your student’s legal last name, legal first name, and date of birth.

* Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles and Students themselves can also register to purchase items.

* Community Members, you can skip this step: “I don’t want to add a student”.

Please note: As we begin the new process, there may not be many items in your schools catalogue. More items will be added as we complete the launch.

Weather updates -

Students need to bring a jacket to school every day please. Mr. Untereiner would like the students outside, as much as possible, during recess and lunch.

Mr. Battie has asked that students have inside gym shoes to prevent marks and dirt on the gym floor.

Students need to have a water bottle at school every day please. We have water filling stations in our hallway. Water bottles will go home each day to be washed. Thank you.
