School Fees

New families to the District need to start by completing an online registration application if you have not done so already. In addition to the online registration, please submit any additional forms. The health history form is now located within online registration verification.

Authorized Fees for 2022-2023

The approved fees are the only fees that can be charged to students. Funds for other supplies, materials, and student activities must come from building budgets, grants, or fundraisers.

Mandatory class projects may be given to the student or sold to other students. If a student chooses to make a project using material not required for the class, the student is responsible for supplying the material or a charge will be imposed by the District (e.g., a jewelry project that can be done with a non-precious metal but the student elects to do a project with a precious metal, the student will pay for the precious metal).

Fee waivers are available for low-income students as outlined in District policy 503.3 Fines, Fees, Charges. Required fees will be waived for students who qualify for free lunches or meet other specific eligibility requirements and reduced by one-half for students who qualify for reduced-price lunches. Other families may submit a written request for a waiver to the Business Office for District fees and to the building principal for building fees.
