Printing Statements for a Group of Students

In Hero, Statements can be either viewed or printed. Viewing statements is the preferred option for these reasons:

• Viewing access rights are set based on a single caregiver for a single student providing greater flexibility for blended families. e.g. a caregiver may be able to view the finances of one child in a family but not another.
• Caregivers can always view the full statement so can easily check historical payments made.
• Caregivers can see full payment details removing the need for non-donation receipts.
• Caregivers can pay line items instantly using the online payment processing system.
• Finance Officers do not have to print statements.
• Payments are more frequent as finance viewing is always available.

However, it is sometimes necessary for schools to print statements for a selected group of students. This can be achieved quickly using our statement distribution process.
