PLEASE NOTE....
I just received a financial report from one of our parent treasurers. Currently, we are still missing over 13,800.00 in London payments, and a ton of band fair share payments. I don't have to communicate individually with you at this time, but am really hoping that EACH OF YOU will log into charms using your student's ID number and check out your financial statements.
https://www.charmsoffice.com/charms/login.asp
If you are going to London, please be sure that you have made every payment. I am aware that school cash online doesn't allow for partial payments. So pay whatever number of 212.00 are needed to get you close, and send the remainder to us. We are expecting our final invoice any day now, and must have your payments in to meet that invoice.
Band Fair Share payments are set up in the "Fixed Payment Ledger". By now, you should have paid the August, September, and October fees. Please help the band by getting current in your fair share fees.
As always, your support is greatly appreciated!
