STATEMENTS and TUITION PAYMENTS
- Student accounts must be current in order to start school in August.
- AutoPay is the easiest and best way to make your tuition payments. AutoPay is invoice year specific and must be set up each year. Make sure you have set up AND “Enabled” AutoPay for 2026-27.
SCHOOL CHOICE SCHOLARSHIP
- If you received a School Choice Scholarship, have submitted the Award ID and have approved your student’s registration in the EMA portal, you should see a credit reflected on your statement. If you do not see a credit AND you have completed all of the required steps, email financialaid@esj.org.
As the new school year begins, we want to remind our community to purchase Episcopal apparel and spirit wear only from approved vendors. From time to time, unauthorized websites and unofficial vendors may claim to offer “Episcopal gear” for sale. However, only school-approved vendors are authorized to produce and sell apparel featuring Episcopal’s name, logos, or branding.
Purchasing from approved vendors helps ensure that products meet our brand standards and that your personal and payment information remains secure.
Episcopal School of Jacksonville’s approved vendors are:
- ESJ Campus Store (located on the Munnerlyn Campus)
- Lands’ End
- Baker’s Sports
Additional approved vendors (such as Crowley Printing, Custom Ink, and others) may be used for specific school group or club apparel with prior approval from Episcopal’s Marketing Communications Office.
If you are ever unsure whether a vendor is authorized, please contact the Marketing Communications Office at info@esj.org before placing an order.

Hi Parents,
We’re launching a fun, low-key way to help parents connect — and we’re looking for Grade-Level Social Chairs for 6th–12th grades.
Social Chairs help bring parents together by organizing casual, optional get-togethers, such as:
- Coffee meetups
- Cocktails at a local restaurant
- Park or outdoor meetups
Meet for a drink or dinner before a home sporting event.
This role is all about building community and connection within each grade. Helping parents get to know one another in a relaxed, welcoming way.
Ideally, we’d love to have two Social Chairs per grade. Chairs may continue with their grade year-to-year or rotate annually — totally flexible! We’re excited to kick this off mid-year and grow it moving forward.
Interested or want to learn more?
Email: melanie.setina.davis@gmail.com
Call/Text: 804.539.4025
We’d love your help creating meaningful connections within our school community!
Warmly,
Melanie Davis, Parent Association President
