Field Trips and Overdue Fees
At this time, all fees, except second semester fees and a small number of extracurricular fees, are past due. Fee accounts are being reviewed for submission to a collection agency for assistance in recovering these outstanding and past due amounts. Please review your students' fees, for all schoo years in the parent portal of Infinite Campus. If you need a hard copy of your fee statements, please contact your student's building office. Please make payment within 30 days to avoid collection recovery efforts. Thank you.
