Payments & Fees

Online School Payments

Online payments can be made anytime, from anywhere within the United States through the parent/guardian's TouchBase account for school fees using their unique username and password provided by the school.

Touchbase provides a quick and secure option to make payments for many school fees. Parents with more than one student can make payments for each student all in one transaction. 

School lunch accounts cannot be reloaded through TouchBase. Please refer to the School Lunch 

Please contact the WHS Online Resource Coordinator at whsattendance@nsd.org if you need assistance logging in or review the Payment Troubleshooting & Guest Accounts webpage or view our PDF guide.

Reduced or Waived Fees 

Parents/Guardians who qualify for free and/or reduced priced meals may allow their application status to be shared with schools by completing the Fee Waiver during the online Free and Reduced Lunch Application. If the Fee Waiver was not completed during the application, a Fee Waiver should be submitted before making payments.

Important Fee Waiver Info:

• Consent must be given each school year and does not carry forward from last school year. 
• Once the Fee Waiver is submitted and approved, it takes a minimum of 24 hours for the fees to populate as $0 in TouchBase.
• If the fee was already assessed to your student's account,  you must reach out to the bookkeeper to re-assess the fees at whsasb@nsd.org.
• Once a student is qualified for the fee waiver, the student or family must still initiate the purchase school items for $0 at the cashier office or online through TouchBase. Completing the fee waiver doesn’t automatically process payments for the student. This includes ASB memberships, Device Protection Plans, sport & club participation fees, etc.

TouchBase Account Troubleshooting  

If you are having difficulty selecting an item for purchase, chances are a GUEST Account was created at the TouchBase login page, rather than using the parent/guardian user name and password provided by the school.

If a GUEST account was created, the user sees:

• The parent's name after "Shopping for" rather than the student's name 
• In the payment amount area "Only available to grade(s) 9,09,10,11,12" is seen rather than the correct dollar amount, or the ability to enter the dollar amount for sport's payments 

Guest accounts do NOT tie to the student's account.  Guest accounts are for NON-NSD parent/guardians to purchase items such as Theater tickets.  WHS parents can be provided with their TouchBase user name be emailing whsattendance@nsd.org. TouchBase accounts allow parents to view and make payments for ALL of their NSD students through one user name and password.

Do NOT set up a Guest Account at the TouchBase login page!

Parents/Guardians can also view our PDF guide for complete online payment site instructions.

Device Protection Program (DPP) and Fines for Damage or Loss

The DPP program covers the device (Chromebook, Macbook, or iPad) loaned to your student against accidental damage for the school year. This program does NOT cover damage resulting from misuse or loss of the device.  We expect all students to properly use their device and to secure it when it is not being used.  If the device is used improperly or is not secured while the student is not using it, families will be expected to pay the full cost of replacement or repair. 

Device protection can be purchased online through TouchBase or in person at the Main or Cashier's office with cash, check, debit/credit. 

If purchasing through TouchBase, go to:

• Items At Student's School
• Under Categories, choose Technology
• The $25.00* fee can then be added to your cart for checkout

*This fee can be waived if qualified for Free and Reduced and a Fee waiver has been approved. Once a Fee Waiver has been approved the student must still purchase the DPP for $0, online or at the cashier's office. 

Further information about DPP can be found on the District website.

Students seeking a refund made by cash/check or online should contact Ms. Nelson at the Cashier's Office at whsasb@nsd.org. Bonafide refund requests are submitted by Ms. Nelson to the District Office after the appropriate signatures are obtained.

Please note that most fees are non-refundable. 

Cash/Check Refunds

• Refunds for payments made by cash/check are mailed to the home mailing address of the student's parent/guardian.

• Checks typically arrive within 4-6 weeks of the request.

Online Payment Refunds

• Refunds for payments made online are credited back to the processed credit card account.

• Refunds are typically posted within 4-6 weeks of the request.

Book Refunds

• Effective June 2020, students are eligible for a library or textbook full refund if they return the previously lost, non-damaged book(s) within 120 days of the date the fine was assessed. 

• To keep textbook editions and inventory consistent for student learning returned books must be the actual NSD book checked out to the student. While students could find similar editions, there is no guarantee that books, even those with a similar cover, are the same edition or have the same copyright date. For that reason, if the original book cannot be located students are required to pay the fine for replacement.

For designated events, Woodinville High School offers online ticket purchasing through GOFan. GOFan strives to provide fans with the easiest and fastest ticketing experience, where fans can easily buy and share tickets to school events and enjoy contactless entry with their mobile device.

For that reason, if the original book cannot be located students are required to pay the fine for replacement.
• Students who believe a fine is listed in error must contact their teacher/coach for the item(s) to be cleared from the fine list
• Teachers/Coaches then notify the ASB/Bookkeeper in the Cashier's Office via email or in writing to remove the fine

NSD Food and Nutrition online meal payment Information

In-Person Meal Payments

Students and parents/guardians can pay by cash or check (made payable to NSD) directly to the WHS Kitchen Staff in the Commons. In-person payments for school meals are not accepted at cashier's offices within the Northshore School District.

• Students can make payment during regular breakfast or lunch service.
• Parent/guardian's should try to make in-person payments before school, 7:50am to 8:20am, as the kitchen staff is not always readily available during non-meal times. Thank you for your understanding.

Checks should be made out to Northshore School District.

LOW BALANCE NOTIFICATIONS/TRACKING MEAL BALANCES

You can view your student’s meal account balance and cafeteria purchases and transfer money from one sibling to another at no charge on the LINQ Connect Portal online or with the mobile app at LINQConnect.com. Families that have registered on the LINQ Connect Portal will receive a low-balance notification by email when their student’s account drops below $5.00. Families can also set custom low-balance notifications through LINQ Connect. 

NEGATIVE BALANCE NOTIFICATIONS

When a student account balance reaches the equivalent of negative two lunches, automated calls will be sent out from the Food & Nutrition Services Department to ensure notification of account standings.  Regardless of account standing, students will always be offered a reimbursable breakfast and lunch at school and allowed to charge on a negative balance. Charging for a la carte purchases, including milk-only, extra entrees, or non-reimbursable meals, will not be permitted if a student's balance is negative. Unpaid meal charges must be paid in full when a student graduates or moves to a new school district.

12th Grade Families & Students Leaving the District

For graduating seniors and students leaving the district who have money remaining on their school meal account, NSD is providing three options for those funds:

1. Receive a refund check: A check will be mailed to the address in your student's record.
2. Transfer to a sibling: We are only able to transfer funds to one sibling.
3. Donate to students in need: Your remaining meal balance will be used to provide meals for Northshore School District students in need.

Please make your selection by completing this form.

K-11th Grade Families

For families of students in grades K-11, no action is needed.

Meal account funds will roll over to the next school year.

However, if you would like a refund or to donate your current balance to a Northshore student in need, complete this form. (Note: The form indicates "Senior Meal Balances" at the top, but this same form is completed for all grade levels.) 

All meal balances can be viewed using LINQConnect.com.
