Transactions for student spending will be posted to an online account that is separate from the tuition account. This spending account is similar to a bank account. You will use a website called MyKidsSpending to fund your child’s account and view their account activity. Over the summer, communication will be sent to parents of all new students with MyKidsSpending login information. Suggested yearly amounts will also be communicated to allow funds to be deposited to this account by August 15th. Returning students’ accounts will remain intact. The account should maintain a positive balance at all times.
Examples of transactions that will post to this account are as follows:
* Medical –prescriptions, all medical bills not covered by your insurance
* Music, tennis, horseback riding lessons
* School Store purchases
* Student Activities – weekend trips, Bromley, Mohawk
* Travel – transporting to and from campus including, train stations or airports by faculty or livery
* Petty Cash for Travel – train tickets, meals when traveling, * UM (Unaccompanied Minor) fee
* Haircuts
*Textbooks and miscellaneous charges, ie. FedEx
* Testing fees including SSAT-registration fee for VIth Form and VIIth Form (8th and 9th Grades)
This account also allows for “pocket spending money” or allowances for your student. The weekly withdrawal amount is $20.00, unless otherwise notified by the parent or guardian. This amount can be changed for a specific week by contacting Gena Newman at gnewman@rumseyhall.org, no later than the close of business on Wednesday of that week. The Student Bank is open every Friday. We discourage students from keeping money in their dorm rooms.
Questions related to the student spending account may be directed to Gena Newman at 860-868-0535 Ext. 150 or gnewman@rumseyhall.org
