Senior Survey & Fee
Good morning,
You are receiving this email because you are expected to graduate this year. I would like for each senior to complete the Senior Survey and I would also like to provide you with information on senior fees.
The senior fee is intended to help pay for a t-shirt, goodie bag, a senior breakfast or lunch for you to enjoy, and parts of graduation. Your senior fee is $50. You can pay this fee one of three ways:
- Online - We now have an online option for paying your senior fee! Click here to access our online payment system and add the senior fee to your cart for payment.
- By Mail - You can mail a CHECK to this address: Bethany Young, 200 Taylor Street, Oxford, NC 27565. Please make all checks payable to Granville Academy & include 'Senior Fee' on the memo line. Please include a note on which senior the fee is covering.
- In Person - You can stop by the Mary Potter Center for Education and pay in person with cash or check.
If you are unable to afford your senior fee, please reach out to Mrs. Young.
Please make sure you fill out the Senior Survey so that I know what size t-shirt to get for you. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
