ONLINE PURCHASE INFORMATION

During the school year, we encourage families to use our online payment systems to purchase items and pay fines. Parents and/or guardians can access our online system at and select the "Student Purchases, Fees and Fines" Quick Link on the left side of the screen. It is important to note that we have two separate systems for online payments. One is for lunch accounts within Skyward Family Access, and the other is for other purchases and payments through Touchbase. Both systems use the same login and password.*

Student Fees, Fines and Purchases (Touchbase): To purchase items such as ASB cards, yearbooks, class fees, field trips, and other items, login as follows:

1. Go to and select the "Student Purchases, Fees and Fines" Quick Link on the bottom right side of your screen.

2. Beneath "Step by Step Instructions for Touchbase," select the hyperlink for "Touchbase." 3. Enter your login and password. Like last year, your Family Access login and password is used for

Touchbase. * 4. Click on your student's name. Review the menu on the right of your screen to purchase items in

our store, pay fines, view receipts, or review athletic and activity information. To purchase items for other students in your family, select "Your Family" on the top of the screen. Select the next student and continue. Select "Checkout" when you are finished and follow the prompts.

A small convenience fee is charged for each purchase from the online store. These fees start at $1.50 and increase based on a percentage of the total purchase. Customers can view all fees before final checkout. Once the transaction is complete, the purchase(s) will immediately show on the student's account.

If fines or fees are already owed on the account, you will see a red message once you have selected your student's name. For more information, select "Unpaid Fines/Fees." Students with fines may not be able to purchase some items online until the fees are paid, and these items will not be visible on the product list.

* PLEASE NOTE: Login Information: Logins always includes the first five (5) letters of the guardian's last name, the first three (3) letters of the guardian's first name, and three (3) numeric characters. If the guardian's last name is less than five (5) characters, you must add the adequate number of spaces to make five (5) characters. Login Information for Student Fees and Fines: Like last year, logins and passwords for Touchbase are the same as those used for Skyward Family Access. DO NOTE: if you have changed your password in Family Access, the update in Touchbase will take one overnight cycle.

If you need assistance while using our online system to purchase items, pay fines/fees, or review receipts, please contact the Curtis Junior High School main office at (253) 566-5670. The office will be open from 7:00 to 3:30 on

August 1st, 6th, 8th, 13th, 15th, 19th through 22nd, and 26th through 29th.
