School Fees – Policy

Annual School Fees

Any payment for student participation in a class, program, or activity is a fee and is subject to the fee waiver requirement.

All students are responsible to pay for any loss, breakage, or damage they cause to school property. Loss breakage, or damage is not subject to the fee waiver requirement.

Students may participate in group fundraising. Notification of the details of such fundraising will be provided to parents and students in advance. Students will not be denied membership in a group for lack of participation in fundraising.

Donations are permissible, but all such requests are voluntary. A student may not be excluded from an activity or program because they did not make a donation.

The maximum annual amount of fees that a student may be charged is $1,000. The actual amount charged per student may be less.

Fee Waivers

If your student will be eating school meals and you expect to qualify for Free or Reduced Meals, you will then need to fill out a Household Application for Free and Reduced Price School Meals in Aspire or by clicking on the button below. If you qualify for Free Meals, your fees will automatically be waived. Contact the school for more assistance if needed to complete this application in Aspire.

If your student won’t be eating school meals but you want to apply for Fee Waivers, Please contact the school for a Fee Waiver application.

Eligibility for fee waivers is presumed for students who are:

eligible for free school lunch;

receiving public assistance in the form of Aid to Families with Dependent Children, or Supplemental Security Income (SSI); or

in foster care or in state custody.

Eligibility for reduced school lunch does not qualify for a fee waiver. Mandatory fees must be paid.

Case by case determinations are to be made for those who do not qualify under one of the standards above but who, because of extenuating circumstances such as, but not limited to, exceptional financial burdens such as loss or substantial reduction of income or extraordinary medical expenses, are not reasonably capable of paying the fee.
