Gadsden ISD Transitioning to Cashless Payments
Dear Parents and Community Members,
We want to inform you of an important update regarding how the school district will be handling payments moving forward. Beginning this school year, Gadsden ISD will begin transitioning to cashless transactions across all school sites.
Payments for field trips, yearbooks, spirit wear, and fundraising activities will now be made using digital or electronic methods:
✅ MySchoolBucks – for general school fee payments and fundraising
✅ GoFan – for on-site purchases like concessions and athletic event tickets
✅ Blast Fundraising – for select student-led fundraising
This change has already been introduced by principals during recent school meetings. We understand this is a shift and want to assure you it’s based on:
- Student and staff safety by reducing cash handling
- Greater accountability and transparency
- Easier payment processes for families and staff
If you have any questions, please contact your school’s front office—we’re happy to help.
Thank you for your understanding and support as we move toward a safer, more efficient system.
Estimados padres y miembros de la comunidad:
Queremos informarles sobre un cambio importante. A partir de este ciclo escolar, Gadsden ISD comenzará la transición a transacciones sin efectivo en todas las escuelas.
Los pagos por excursiones, anuarios, ropa escolar, y actividades de recaudación deberán realizarse de forma digital usando:
✅ MySchoolBucks – para pagos generales y recaudaciones
✅ GoFan – para concesiones y boletos deportivos
✅ Blast Fundraising – para campañas dirigidas por estudiantes
Los directores ya han comenzado a comunicar este cambio. Sabemos que representa una transición, y queremos asegurarles que la decisión se basa en:
- Seguridad al reducir el manejo de efectivo
- Mayor transparencia en las finanzas escolares
- Procesos más sencillos para familias y personal
Para cualquier duda, comuníquese con la oficina de su escuela. ¡Gracias por su apoyo continuo!
