Extracurricular/Co-Curricular Participation Fees

Families may pay their child's activity fees securely and conveniently online through our PaySchools Central system using any Visa, MasterCard, or American Express (including Debit Visa and MasterCard). If you have not yet created an PaySchools Central account, you will need your student's ID number to complete the sign-up process. Families may make deposits into multiple student accounts and pay one fee payment in a single transaction.

The use of PaySchools Central is optional; your school will continue to accept cash or checks for the payment of fees or deposits into meal accounts. If you need to pay by cash or check, please contact your school to make the necessary arrangement to deliver payment. You may also contact your school office with any additional questions or concerns regarding the payment of these fees.

PTP fees are payable to “Westerville City Schools” and are due by the first performance. Payments may be made in the Athletic Office at the high school or online through your PaySchools Central account

Athletic Fees for 2025-26 school year

High School Athletic Fees:

  • $180 for the 1st sport
  • $90 for the 2nd sport
  • 3rd sport is free

Middle School Athletic Fees:

  • $90 for the 1st sport
  • $60 for the 2nd sport
  • 3rd sport is free

There is a $360 family cap for athletic fees.

Prior to the first regularly scheduled contest, the entire participation payment must be made to the District. Failure to make the full participation payment means the athlete will no longer be able to participate with the program - game or practice - until the balance owed is $0.00.

* Checks to be made payable to: Westerville City School District

Note: In addition to the required extracurricular fees, students may be asked to cover additional costs associated with optional activities and experiences that are not assessed by Westerville City Schools and do not count towards the family cap for extracurricular fees. 

Refunds

If an athlete has participated in at least one regular season contest, then no amount will be refunded in the event of injury, quitting, or coaches dismissal, causing the athlete to miss part of or the remainder of the season. This aligns with the Ohio High School Athletic Association (OHSAA) eligibility rules. 

If an athlete has made a partial payment, but opted to withdraw from the activity BEFORE participating in any regular season contest (whether by choice, coaches decision or injury), the athlete's partial payment shall be refunded.
