Youth

In partnership with the Drummondville and Saint-Bonaventure schools, the caisse offers the School Caisse service to all young savers. Every year, over 2,500 students at 24 elementary schools benefit from the service, which helps them to save and become independent, responsible and competent in managing their savings.

2024–2025 school year

Due to the pandemic, the School Caisse service has changed in certain schools. To see if it's available at your child's school for the 2024-2025 school year, visit the School Caisse website - External link.. The list of schools served by the caisse is updated regularly.

How it works

The School Caisse service is simple. At the beginning of the school year, your child receives a plastic bag labelled with their group number and school name. The bag will serve as a link between home, school and the caisse. To make things easier, make sure to write your child's name in the designated space.

The first deposit date for the 2024-2025 school year will be Wednesday, September 25, 2024. The full deposit schedule is included in the supplies sent by the caisse at the start of the school year. It's also available on the School Caisse website - External link..

Signing up your child

You can sign up your child by completing the paper form or on the School Caisse website - External link..

Making a deposit

• Fill out the paper form included in the supplies sent by the caisse and return it to the school in your child's plastic bag.
• Write your child's name on the label
• Use the deposit slip inside to make your child's first deposit even if they don't yet have an account.
• On the next deposit date, your child's plastic bag will be sent back to you with a new deposit slip inside. The trip between home and the caisse will happen this way throughout the school year.
• Check the calendar to see the deposit dates.

Whether you open your child's account using the paper form or online, you'll receive a letter confirming that your child's account is open before the next deposit date.
