Fees and Payments

Fees & Payments

School boards across Quebec use the same system for school fees and payments. We know there can be a lot to keep track of, especially when your child changes schools, there is more than one type of fee, and different reference numbers are involved. All the info you need is below.

Tips

New to HSB? Your reference number changes when your child changes schools. If you have NFSB saved as a payee in your online banking from elementary school, do not use the old reference number. Update it using the reference number on your current HSB invoice.

Have more than one child? Each child may have a different reference number. Make sure you are using the number for the correct child and statement.

Use the current invoice. This is one of the easiest ways to make sure your payment gets to the right place.

Questions?

Not sure what a charge is for? Can’t find your statement? Not sure which reference number to use?

Contact HSB before making the payment. We’re happy to help make sure your payment gets to the right place.

What Fees Should I Expect?

School Fees

  • School fees are generally billed once a year and include applicable school fees such as workbooks and materials.
  • Supervision fees are also included on this invoice as a one-time annual fee.
  • Your invoice will show the charges, amount owing and the reference number you need to make your payment.

Field Trips

  • Field trips are charged separately and are not included on your annual school invoice.
  • Information about the cost and how to pay will be provided when a trip is planned.

Sports Fees

  • Sports fees are collected separately for each sport and each season.
  • Payment information will be provided when your child participates in a school sport.

School Uniforms

  • School uniforms are sold separately and are not charged on your school invoice.
  • Visit our Uniforms page for current information about uniform sales, pricing and how to purchase.

School Taxes

  • Property owners across the province pay school taxes. If you own property, you may also receive an annual school tax bill from New Frontiers School Board. Click here to visit NFSB’s School Tax 
  • School taxes are separate from HSB school fees. Your school tax bill is sent directly by NFSB and includes its own payment information.
  • School tax reference numbers do not begin with letters.

 

Where Are My Statements?

Your HSB school statements can be accessed through your Clic école or Parent Portal account.

Open the statement you want to pay. You’ll find the amount owing and Reference Number you need to make your payment.

 

How Do I Pay?

HSB school invoices can be paid through your financial institution’s online banking service.

  1. Open the statement you want to pay in Clic école or the Parent Portal.
  2. Find the Reference Number shown on the statement.
  3. Log in to your bank and select the appropriate New Frontiers School Board payee.
  4. Enter the reference number from the statement.
  5. Enter the amount you are paying.
  6. Double-check your information and complete the payment.

Prefer to Pay at School?

HSB school invoices can also be paid in person by cash, debit or credit, as indicated on your invoice.

 

Keep Your Payment Out of the Mystery Money Vat!

Right payment + old reference number = payment sent back to elementary and delays.

Always use the current reference number shown on your HSB invoice. Take a few seconds to double-check before you click Pay. It saves you time and helps us apply your payment to the right account.

Changing Schools = Changing Reference Numbers

If your child has moved to HSB from an elementary school, do not use an old Internet reference number saved in your online banking.

Your HSB invoice has your current reference number.

Different Fees = Different Payments

Lots of info, but this is the important part!

Not every HSB fee is collected through the same invoice.

School Fees + Supervision = Annual school invoice
Field Trips = Collected separately
Sports = Collected separately by sport and season
Uniforms = Purchased separately
School Taxes = Separate NFSB tax bill

Always follow the payment instructions provided for the specific fee you are paying.
