Please note that International families have pre-funded their accounts but will not see the account balance reflected until the end of the month.
Each student is provided with a student spending account which is used for School Store purchases, student bank (for boarding students); and other incidentals such as weekend activities, travel fees, athletic items, some school supplies, testing fees, and other incidentals.
Rumsey Hall uses MyKidsSpending, an online platform for parents to fund their child’s account using either a credit card or bank account. Spending activity is available on line to be viewed at any point in time, however, please know that some transactions are posted by Rumsey Hall in the month(s) following the expense, so the current balance may not reflect all charges.
There is a small fee associated with using MyKidsSpending (depending on the option you choose) but we trust that the convenience and transparency of this system will make the fee worthwhile. You will receive a separate email from MyKidsSpending in the coming days with log-on instructions and further details. Please wait for that email to begin the funding process.
Please understand that this account must remain positive at all times and spending restrictions may apply for accounts that do not have funding balances.
