Aeries Payments
Overview
- Overview
-
Aeries Payments connects payment and fundraising activity with the Aeries student information environment. It supports fees, fines, tuition programs, online stores, and district-approved crowdfunding while giving families a direct online payment path.
A charge or fundraising transaction gains context from the student and approved purpose. School and finance staff reconcile collection activity with the accounts and operational records used in the Aeries environment. Posting and settlement may follow different schedules. Business staff maintain the references needed to trace a family transaction into the district’s financial reconciliation process.
