A note from Mrs. Braaksma & Mr. Rogers
Your student's extracurricular activity fees for the 2022-2023 school year will be uploaded to the Infinite Campus Parent Portal early next week. These are our yearly fees used for field trips, on-site speakers, presentations, character education, art masterpiece, and other student related expenses. Payment is due by November 30th.
Payments will only be accepted through the Infinite Campus Parent Portal. Class fee payment instructions can be found here.
If your family is going through hardship and not in a position to pay the annual fee, we encourage you to fill out a waiver. Please email Bowers.sue@cusd80.com for a waiver form.
Tax Credit:
There is an opportunity to make additional tax credit donations in the portal up to $400. The Arizona State tax credit allows an Arizona taxpayer to contribute $200 per Arizona state individual tax return, or $400 per joint tax return. These fees will help offset other extracurricular expenses that support robotics, coding, 3D design and printing, and other materials that we use to support project-based learning in all classrooms.
If you have any questions about extracurricular fees or tax credit donations, please contact the front office at (480) 812-6100.
All the best,
Mrs. Braaksma, Principal
Mr. Rogers, Dean of Students
