PushCoin Instructions

You will use PushCoin to pay all student fees beginning with the 2023-2024 school year. If you have any questions about fees or using PushCoin, please contact the business office at BusinessServices@rtsd26.org or 224-612-7327.

After completing your student’s registration, you will receive an email from PushCoin. It may take 2-3 days to arrive in your inbox (make sure to check your SPAM folder). The email will include a PushCoin registration code that you will use to add a student to your account. There will be a unique registration code for each student.

Once you receive that email from PushCoin, you should follow these instructions...

STEP 1: SIGN UP FOR A PUSHCOIN ACCOUNT

  1. Go to www.pushcoin.com
  2. Sign up as a parent/guardian. To do so, either click on I DON’T HAVE AN ACCOUNT and fill out the form OR use accelerated sign-up by clicking on the Facebook, Google, LinkedIn or Hotmail links.

STEP 2: ADD YOUR STUDENT(S) TO YOUR ACCOUNT

  1. Add your student to your PushCoin account by clicking ADD STUDENT. Enter the unique PushCoin registration code you received in the PushCoin email, and click SUBMIT.
  2. Information about the student should appear on the screen. Verify the information is correct and click I CONFIRM.

If you have multiple students, repeat STEP 2 for each student.

STEP 3: MAKE PAYMENT

  1. Click PAY FEES to make a payment
