New online Payment system at Dumfries High School

You can now pay online for items such as School trips and School Lunches at Dumfries High School. This provides an easier, safer and more efficient method of getting money to the school. It eliminates the need for pupils to carry cash and provides the parent with a record of the receipt of money into the school. It also ensures that, for lunch payments, the money can only be spent in the school.

Parents/Guardians will have already received letters describing the system in more detail.
