The division operates multiple schools, including King and Queen Elementary School, Lawson-Marriott Elementary School, and Central High School, and also offers online and virtual school programs through its KQPS Virtual Academy.

A card charge that appears as something like “MMS university of kqps” is likely related to a payment processed on behalf of King and Queen County Public Schools, potentially for tuition-like school fees, virtual academy courses, activity fees, lunch or cafeteria accounts, or other school-related costs. The “MMS” and “university” portions may reflect internal or third‑party system labels (for example, a management or payment system) rather than the actual legal name of the institution, while “kqps” aligns with the common abbreviation for King and Queen County Public Schools. Such payments may be one‑time (e.g., field trip, testing, graduation) or recurring (e.g., online program fees or ongoing services).

If you are unsure about this charge, start by checking recent communications (emails, letters, online portals) from King and Queen County Public Schools or your child’s school to see if you recently authorized a payment. Receipts or confirmations from the KQPS Virtual Academy or online payment portals may list a transaction ID that matches the amount and date on your card statement. If questions remain, you can contact the KQPS central office by phone or through the contact information on the district’s official website, and provide the date, amount, and descriptor from your card; they can typically confirm whether the payment is associated with a student account or school fee and help correct any billing issues.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does my statement show “MMS university of kqps” instead of King and Queen County Public Schools?

Card processors and school payment systems sometimes use shortened or internal labels, so a transaction for King and Queen County Public Schools may appear with an internal code like “MMS university of kqps.” The recognizable part is “kqps,” which aligns with King and Queen County Public Schools; the other terms are likely system or software labels rather than the district’s formal name.

What types of payments to King and Queen County Public Schools typically appear on a card statement?

Common card payments include school activity fees, sports or club fees, testing fees, technology or Chromebook fees, lunch or cafeteria deposits, and virtual academy or online course costs. Any of these can be processed through an electronic payment system that produces a descriptor similar to “MMS university of kqps.”

How can I confirm that this KQPS-related charge is legitimate?

Compare the transaction date and amount with any recent payments you or your household made to King and Queen County Public Schools—such as completing an online payment form, paying for a field trip, or adding funds to a cafeteria account. Then log into any KQPS parent or payment portal you use, or contact your child’s school office or the KQPS central office, and ask them to verify the payment using the date, amount, and last four digits of your card.

Can I get a refund for a payment made to King and Queen County Public Schools?

Refunds depend on the specific fee and school or district policy. For example, some activity or course fees may be nonrefundable after a certain date, while unused cafeteria balances may be refundable or transferable. To request a refund, contact the relevant school office or the KQPS finance/business office and provide details of the payment, including the statement descriptor, amount, and date.

How do I stop recurring or automatic payments related to KQPS?

If you set up recurring payments through a KQPS online portal—for example, automatic cafeteria deposits or installment plans for certain fees—you’ll typically need to log into that portal and turn off or modify the recurring payment settings. If you’re unsure how to access the portal, contact your child’s school or the KQPS central office and ask for instructions on managing or cancelling recurring payments.

Why is there a small or duplicate KQPS-related charge on my account?

Some school payment platforms may run small temporary authorizations or show duplicate pending transactions when verifying your card. These usually drop off within a few days and are not completed charges. If the pending items post as full charges or you see a duplicate settled payment, contact KQPS’s billing or finance office with a screenshot of your statement so they can research and, if appropriate, reverse the extra charge.

Who should I contact at King and Queen County Public Schools about a billing or payment issue?

Start with the front office of the specific school your child attends; they can often look up recent payments tied to the student’s account. For broader or unresolved billing questions, contact the King and Queen County Public Schools central office using the phone number or contact form listed on kqps.net and provide your student’s name (if applicable), the payment date, amount, and the statement descriptor.

I don’t have any connection to KQPS—what should I do if I still see this charge?

If no one in your household is enrolled in or employed by King and Queen County Public Schools and you did not authorize a school-related payment, contact your card issuer immediately to dispute the transaction and request that your card be checked for fraud. Your bank may also reach out to the merchant’s processor to investigate, while you monitor your account for any additional unfamiliar charges.
