Student Fees

Fee Payments

New for the 2023-24 school year, the District 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 2023-24 School Year will be applied on Aug. 10, 2023.

*Students registered on or before May 1 will see a $20 discount applied to their student fee account in August*

As a reminder applications to determine eligibility for the Free and Reduced Lunch Program are available for the 2023-24 school year on July 1, 2023.
