Payments
Welcome to the Electronic Payment Option
Hingham has partnered with UniPay to offer an online payment option for your convenience. Please note that there is a nominal fee for this service. If you choose to directly debit your checking account using your check number and routing code, the fee is 25 cents.
If you choose to charge with a MasterCard or Discover Card, (at this time there is no option to Pay with VISA) the fee is based on the total amount charged.
FACTS Information
Hingham Public Schools uses a third party billing company, FACTS Management, for the processing and collection of our families’ tuition and fees. The web-based portal system is easy and convenient to use and is used by many colleges, private schools and other public schools as well.
For parents who have an existing FACTS account with Hingham Public Schools, we will be in contact with you with information on your payment plan. No further information is needed from you at this time.
For parents who are NEW to FACTS:
Please access FACTS Management and enroll on FACTS online.
Enrollment in FACTS is necessary to complete your kindergarten registration and is needed whether or not your tuition will be waived or you plan to pay your tuition in full. We do need a completed database of all parents, regardless of their tuition status. Please also note that FACTS charges a $45 non-refundable enrollment fee for monthly payment plans. If the annual tuition is waived or paid in full, this FACTS fee is not applicable. You will be asked to:
Provide payee name, address and contact information,
Provide financial account information for direct checking account payments (no charge) or credit card payments (2.95% service fee),
Select a monthly or annual payment plan and submit a Tuition Agreement. Monthly payments will occur August 20 through May 20.
Once you have completed the FACTS registration and the kindergarten enrollment process, Hingham Public Schools will establish your account with your child’s information and tuition balance(s), if any.
FACTS will then send you a confirmation notice with payment plan details.
