Shepard News & Notes
June 1, 2018
Hello Shepard Families:
As we approach the final week of the school year and celebrate the many achievements of our students, please also join me in celebrating our retirees. We wish Mrs. Janet Butterfield (band) and Ms. Lynn Dreyfuss (special education) all the best as they leave us for their much-deserved retirement. We're going to miss you!
Warm Regards,
JohnJourney for All
2nd Posting - District Fees
Dear Families of 2018-2019 Students,
There is still plenty of time left in this school year, but it’s also time to look ahead to next year!
District fees for the 2018-2019 school year now are payable online throughFamily Access. They are due on July 1. Avoid the late fee of $25 per family and pay before the 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.
I am begging you: read this fee letter thoroughly. It has so much important (and, you have to admit, incredibly well written) information for all families - including yours!
You can always find information about fees, including fee waivers, 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 and preschool 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."
- 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.
A note to all families: You will see inactive students in Family Access - including District 109 graduates of all ages! 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.
Sincerely,
Cathy Kedjidjian
