25% of All Fees Owed Due 1/31
If you have any outstanding fees for 2017-2018, you must pay 25% of the amount owed by Wednesday, January 31st.
Unfortunately, students/families who have not taken care of their financial obligations will not be able to register for band in 2018-2019.
Seniors who have not taken care of their financial obligations will not receive their HS Diploma, per Akins policy.
It is the goal of the band staff to work with all families to make sure that fees can be cleared.
Need to know your balance? Here are instructions to log into CHARMS and see your current amount due (or if you have a credit). (Click here for instructions in Spanish.)
You can make payments in the following ways:
- Bring cash, check, or money order to the band hall and deposit in the safe near the Assistant Directors' office.
- Pay using AISD School Cash Online using a credit or debit card. Log into School Cash Online here. You can find instructions on how to register to use this system here.
