Greetings Caruso Families,
As we approach the end of another school year a sincere thank you is in order. Thank you for sending us students every day that are ready to learn and are passionate about their education. Thank you for being parents that advocate for a world-class learning environment. Thank you for making Caruso a place that we are proud to be associated with and a school that serves as a model for the state and nation.
Have a safe and enjoyable summer! Good luck and thank you to any families who are moving on from Caruso. For those that are returning, we will continue to be in communication regarding preparations for the upcoming academic year.
Sincerely,
Brian Bullis

As a follow-up, in addition to the wonderful funds that were raised from the Color Run, our PTO has agreed to fund the remaining monetary needs in order to supply our fitness room with new equipment for next year! What an amazing team effort!! Thank you to everyone who contributed to this awesome effort!!
1st/FINAL Posting- School Attendance
We consider every day of attendance at Caruso Middle School to be a day that is of great value. We encourage all families to make every reasonable effort to promote their child’s school attendance throughout the year, including our last days!
2nd/FINAL Posting - Medication Pick-up
Reminder: If your student has any medication (prescription and/or over the counter) in the Nurse’s Office, please pick up by the last day of school. All medication not picked up by the end of the last day of school will be disposed of.
3rd/FINAL Posting - District Fees: Payable Now, Due July 1
District fees for the 2017-2018 school year now are payable online through Family Access. They are due on July 1; a late fee of $25 per family is assessed if you miss that deadline. If you have an outstanding balance for the current school year for any of your children, please pay those fees as soon as possible.
It is very important that you read this fee letter thoroughly - it has a lot of important information for all families. More information about fees (including fee waivers) is posted on the Fee Information page of the website. Please review the Family Access User Guide with step-by-step online payment instructions so you can quickly and securely pay your fees using a credit card. A few specific notes:
- Incoming kindergarten families: You now can log into Family Access with the login information emailed to your after you registered! The email came from do.not.reply@dps109.org with the subject "Family Access Account Information." If you have chosen extended-day (full-day) kindergarten, you will see 10 payments. The online payment instructions (step #6) explain how you can pay monthly, or choose to add multiple payments at once.
- Middle school families: Your incidental fees are payable now. Some are mandatory and have been assigned to your child's account. Others are optional and can be added to your account. Please read this detailed information about incidental fees.
- Families of parents in separate households: Fees will appear only in the Family Access account of the parent who is the primary payor.
You will see inactive students in Family Access - including District 109 graduates! This allows our incoming families to access the system to pay their fees and ensure we have the correct emergency and contact information for them. So, if you have a child in high school (or beyond!), you will see his or her name pop up now, until we roll over the system for the new school year. Don't worry - there are no fees assigned to them!
Please contact me if you have any questions about Family Access. If you have questions about fee waivers, contact Kelly Mitchell.
