Principal Sampson's Notes

Happy September!!

School has gotten off to a great start. Our students are settling in nicely and we have been busy with a few improvements which include the following: (1) New water bottle refilling stations (2) New basketball goals along the slab and out front (3) Freshly painted red lines to guide students as they walk (4) The 2nd 3rd-grade hallway is receiving a fresh coat of paint. As more projects are completed I will keep you updated. In addition, our PTO is busy creating an outdoor reading area for our students.

Special Note-I apologize in advance, but we had the incorrect school supply fee. The school supply fee is $15. If you paid $10, will you please pay the $5 online or send it to your child's teacher. Again, I apologize for this error and the inconvenience.

New Online Payment Platform

SCHOOLCASH ONLINE

Create an account, connect your schools and students to the account, and search the catalog for available fees.

Each school creates its own items for purchase and assigns them to students. Once assigned, items will appear under the student's tab. If you can't find an item, the item may not be available for purchase, has expired, or is not assigned to your student.

Click on an item to add it to your cart. "Check out" when you are ready to pay. The program keeps track of all of your transactions, so if you ever need proof of payment, check under the History section of your user dashboard. There is also the ability to print a receipt should you need them for your records.
