RITA Schedule & Fees • 2026-27 School Year
The Riverside in the Afternoon program (RITA) is designed to be a relaxed environment, which provides students variety within the care offered during after-school hours. Art, games, crafts, homework time, and outdoor play are some of the activities provided by RITA. RITA may be utilized on a “drop-in” basis; however, this is the most expensive way to participate. RPDS recommends taking advantage of a monthly plan for the RITA program, and parents can elect for more than one plan if students are leaving at different times during the week. All RITA fees are added to a parent’s Blackbaud Tuition Management (BBTM) account.
Morning Care
Morning care begins at 7:00 am each weekday. All children arriving prior to 7:40 am must be dropped off and signed in for morning care at the Newton Early Learning Center. The monthly rate for morning care is $150, and the drop-in rate is a $10 flat fee per day.
After-School Care
Monthly Plan Rates
Billed in arrears each month: Sept to June
4
After-School Drop-In Rate
Drop-in care charges are billed in arrears based on the week attended. The drop-in rate is a $15 flat hourly rate billed on the hour (not prorated) until 6:00 pm
Early Dismissal & No School Days
For Early Dismissal or No School days (Conferences/Professional Development), there is a separate fee for care. Prior to attendance, online registration via the myRPDS Parent Portal is required.
Morning only (7:00 am – 8:00 am) $ 15
Full Day $ 100
Half Day $ 50
Late Pick-up Fee After 6 PM
A late fee of $15 will be charged every 15 minutes a child is not picked up.
Afternoon Academies
Afternoon Academies provide an additional way students can enjoy the after-school hours. Academies are coordinated to work in concert with RITA but require a separate registration and fee. This addition to our RITA Program provides student enrichment activities such as ballet, gymnastics, art, athletic activities, and music lessons. Registration and payment for Afternoon Academies is accomplished by picking an academy and registering through the myRPDS parent portal.

You can set up automatic payments from your bank account or credit/debit card by logging into your account and selecting My Profile at the top of the page. Open the Payment Information tab and select Add New Account to enter your bank or card information and save the account.
The account listed under Auto-Pay Account is now set up for monthly automatic payments. If you already have additional payment methods saved, check the box for Use this account for my automatic debit next to the applicable payment account to set it as the automatic payment method.
If your automatic payment is set up fewer than 3 business days before your due date, your first payment may not be pulled automatically. In this case, you will still be responsible for making a manual payment before your due date. Please read the terms and conditions carefully as fees may apply.
Automatic payment amounts are based on the current month's billed amount. If an account has a past due balance, that past due balance is not included in the automatic payment withdrawal and the payer must make a manual payment to settle the past due balance.
19. How do I stop my automatic payments?
You can stop an automatic payment from processing on an upcoming due date by logging into your account and selecting Stop Payment on the home page. Please note payments need to be stopped online at least 3 business days prior to your due date.

Please note payments go into process 1 business day prior to ensure the funds are available to be applied to your account by your due date.
20. Can I schedule future payments?

2. Select Make a Payment
3. Select the payment method: Credit Card, Debit Card, or Bank Account
4. Select Use a saved payment method
5. Select Schedule future payments.

8. Select Continue
9. Review the scheduled payment information.
10. If all information is correct, select Continue
11. Review the confirmation page. Select Print if needed.
You will receive a confirmation email with your scheduled payment details. If you schedule a payment more than 10 days in the future, you will also receive a reminder email 10 days before the payment processes.
Note: If you schedule payments with a bank account that is undergoing NACHA validation and the bank account fails NACHA validation, those payments will be removed from the schedule.
21. How can I review or cancel a scheduled payment?
To review scheduled one-time payments, sign into the parent site and select Payment, then View Payments Future scheduled payments are displayed under Scheduled Payments.
You can select Cancel for a scheduled payment up to three business days before the scheduled payment date.
22. How do scheduled payments affect automatic payments?
Tip: To ensure your scheduled payment reduces the amount of your next automatic payment, select a Payment Date for your scheduled payment that is at least 3 business days before the automatic payment date.
If you add a scheduled payment with a Payment Date at least 3 business days before your automatic payment date, the scheduled payment will decrease the amount of your automatic payment as long as you do not have a past due balance. If you have a past due balance, the scheduled payment is applied to that past due balance first before any funds are allocated to the current month's billing.
If you add a scheduled payment with a Payment Date 2 business days or less before your automatic payment date, on the same date as your automatic payment date, or after your automatic payment date, it will not decrease the amount of your automatic payment and may result in a credit balance on your account.
Example 1
Billing due date: 30th of the month
Amount billed for current month: $2000
No past due balance.
• If I add a $400 scheduled payment for the 15th of the month, my automatic payment amount on the 30th is reduced to $1600.
• If I add a $400 scheduled payment for the 30th of the month, my automatic payment amount is $2000. The scheduled payment creates a $400 credit on my account.
Example 2
Billing due date: 30th of the month
Amount billed for current month: $2000
Past due balance: $500
• If I add a $1000 scheduled payment for the 15th of the month, my automatic payment on the 30th is $1500. The scheduled payment settled my past due amount and the remaining $500 was applied to my billing for the current month.
• If I add a $1000 scheduled payment for the 30th of the month, my automatic payment on the 30th is $2000. The scheduled payment settles my past due balance and leaves me with a $500 credit on my account.
23. How can I pay by check?
If you would like to use your checking account to pay, you can do this by making a one-time payment online, by calling in a payment through the automated system or with a live representative at (888) 868-8828, by setting
up automatic monthly payments directly from your checking or savings account, or by mailing a check or money order.

24. Can I pay using my bank’s online bill pay service?
Yes, you can utilize your bank’s online bill pay service to send payments to Blackbaud Tuition Management.
Please note: Online bill pay might not electronically transfer funds to Blackbaud Tuition Management. Instead, your bank may mail a paper check to us. We advise you to set up your online bill pay to occur at least 7-10 business days prior to your due date to ensure the check is received and processed by your scheduled due date.

25. Helpful Tips for Mailing Payments or Bank Bill Pay
• Please include your 13-digit Family ID in the memo section of the check or money order (a payment stub is not necessary).
• Do not include any additional paperwork with the payment (letters, Post-it notes, staples, paperclips, etc.). Additional items will delay the processing of your payment.
• Please send payments 7-10 days before your due date. If there is a holiday, please add 3-4 days.
• If there are fewer than 7-10 days before your due date, please consider paying via our website at parent.blackbaud.school. You can also use our automated telephone service to make a payment. Both these solutions eliminate delays in processing your payment. You can pay online or over the phone using your checking or savings account.
• Make checks payable to Blackbaud Tuition Management
• Blackbaud Tuition Management does accept some online bill payments electronically. However, some banks will still send payments as a physical paper check through the USPS mail. If you have any questions about whether your payment will be sent electronically by your bank, please contact your bank directly.
• Once a payment has been sent by physical paper check, it cannot be stopped. If you decide to stop the payment with your bank, a failed bank fee will be incurred on your Blackbaud Tuition Management account.
• If you plan to use your bank’s online bill payment service, please include your 13-digit Family ID without letters, spaces, or characters.
26. How can I wire transfer my payment? How can international families make payments?
Payments to Tuition Management must be issued in United States currency and through U.S. banking institutions.
Note: Bank account payments issued through Puerto Rico are accepted. We do not accept debit or credit card payments issued through Puerto Rico.
Wiring instructions can be found below. Please provide this payment information to your financial institution based on their location.
A $15.00 wire fee is assessed for each wire sent to Blackbaud Tuition Management, please include the additional amount with your wire. If a wire is received without the additional funds, the payment will
be applied less the $15 wire fee. Please check with your financial institution for any additional fees that they may charge, along with any intermediary bank fees that may be assessed.

Flywire international payments
Note: Flywire international payments are only available if your school has the Flywire integration. If your school offers Flywire as a payment option, international families can make bank account, debit, or credit card payments through the parent site. When the Flywire integration is enabled, payers can select the International Payments payment method when making payments.
For additional information or support using Flywire, payers can visit Flywire Help for FAQs, phone, chat, and email support 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Additional information
• Flywire shows the total amount owed in the local currency chosen by the payer. When comparing foreign exchange rates, it’s important a payer compare Flywire’s total to the amount their bank will charge, not what’s shown via search engines or general FX websites.
• In the event a payer has a lower rate from their bank, Flywire offers a Best Price Guarantee in its user experience.
• Flywire ensures the whole amount is delivered, rather than $10-50 short due to wire fees and unexpected transaction fees.
27. Why is my payment status "On Hold"?
In compliance with NACHA regulations, all payments made with a new bank account must go through a validation process to ensure the account information is accurate, the account is open, active, and able to receive ACH transactions. Payments will display as "On Hold" during the validation period, which typically takes 4 business days. Once validation is successful, the payment will be processed.
If you update your bank account information while a payment in On Hold, the updated account information is added as a new bank account record. The old bank account with the On Hold payment remains active. You can delete the old account after the payment comes off hold or contact the Parent Help Center to fail the On Hold payment and delete the account.
28.
What
is the late payment policy?
Payments are due on or before your due date. If your payment is not made by your due date, or you are carrying an outstanding balance, a Follow Up Service Fee may apply. Blackbaud Tuition Management will remind you of your upcoming payment to help you pay on time. We will also advise you when you have missed a payment to help you avoid any future fees. Additional late fees may apply depending on your school’s policy.
29. Are there bank fees associated with payments that are not successful?
A fee may be applied to your account for any failed payment processed via auto-debit, phone, or web. Your bank may also impose additional fees.
30. Where can I find Year End Statements for tax purposes?
