Student Bank and ATM
Student ID Cards
Each student is issued a Student ID Card. The ID card will be valid while the student is actively enrolled at the school. Lost or damaged cards will be replaced at a cost of $5 per card.
Banking
Avon Old Farms School strongly recommends that each student open a personal bank account with a private bank prior to arriving on campus. The school store accepts all major debit and credit cards.
ATM
An ATM is located on campus in the Student Activities Center. Our ATM accepts all major debit and credit cards.
Student Bank
In addition to the private banking option, a student bank program is offered through Avon Old Farms School. Parents can deposit funds in an individual student bank account with AOF. The AOF Student
Bank can be used for on-campus purchases only (i.e., school supplies and snacks from the Hawk’s
Nest). Students may access the funds in their AOF Student Bank with their ID cards or they can
withdraw cash from the Business Office. Carrying large sums of cash on campus is strongly
discouraged.
An Avon Old Farms Student Bank account can be funded in the following ways:
- Cash
- Check [Delivered to the Business Office or mailed to Avon Old Farms School, 500 Old, Farms Rd, Avon CT 06001]
- My Kids Spending – MKS is an application which gives parents the ability to electronically fund their AOF student bank account. Balances, statements and spending information can be obtained by going to mykidsspending.com. An auto-replenish option is also available through MKS which will monitor the account balance and automatically replenish the funds when the balance falls below a preset limit.
For AOF Student Bank accounts, an initial deposit of $500 is recommended and a minimum of $50 must be maintained. Statements are mailed or emailed upon request.
Please note: Overdue library books, postage, fundraising donations, and additional transportation will be deducted from a student’s AOF Student Bank account.
Any questions regarding the student bank can be directed to Lauren Bosse in the Business Office at (860) 404- 4219 or email bossel@avonoldfarms.com.
