Student Fees
Fee Payments
Hawthorn District 73 is pleased to present a streamlined fee structure to families. Fees will be all inclusive of the materials needed for a particular grade level, eliminating the need to collect for yearbooks, PE uniforms/materials, and 8th grade promotional expenses. In addition, fees will no longer be due upon registration, instead fees for the following school year will be applied in the fall.
Students registered on or before May 1 will receive a 10% discount applied to their student fee account.
Parents who believe their families may qualify for the Federal Free/Reduced Lunch can apply online after July 1.
