Wilson Hill Families
What a great first week of school. It was so awesome seeing all of our White Tigers in the building this week. I'm also happy to report our arrival and dismissal procedures have been running smoothly. We have had almost all students in the building and ready to learn by 7:45am each day. A quick reminder if your child would like to eat breakfast in the mornings to please enter through door 1 at 7:30 and head directly to the cafeteria. Our cook manager would also like to remind all families that milk is .50 cents this year. Students who pack their lunch are welcome to buy milk if they'd like. If you need directions on adding money to your child's lunch account via my payments plus, please see the directions below.
Go White Tigers!

School Fees
Fees for Elementary School Instructional Supplies and Materials
The Worthington School District elementary school fee schedule is listed below. Fee money is used to help with the additional costs for reading and math materials and other consumable supplies that are used in areas such as art, science and handwriting. Fee amounts vary by grade level as the types of materials are different.
The money collected for these materials will be deposited in a school supplies fund that serves your school. These funds will enable us to provide your child’s teacher with sufficient materials for the classroom.
Fees are non-refundable. Students who leave the district will be allowed to take with them their used workbooks which were purchased through fees. Fees for students enrolling during the second semester will be adjusted to one-half of the rate.
The district elementary fee schedule is as follows:
Kindergarten: $24
Grades 1, 2, 3: $42
Grades 4, 5: $36
Fees are due at the onset of school and may be paid electronically at MyPaymentsPlus.com (debit, credit or electronic check), by written check or by cash. Written checks should be payable to "Wilson Hill School." There is no need to write a separate check for each child, but please note each child’s name and grade on the memo line so accurate credit can be given. The cancelled check will serve as your receipt. If you prefer to pay in cash, please have the exact amount as we are not able to make change.
Fees may be waived either in full or by half for students qualifying for the free/reduced meals program. You must submit the completed 2022-23 Free and Reduced Price School Meals Family Application AND the Waiver Sharing form attached to the application to be considered for a fee waiver. These forms are available in the school office and on the district web site www.worthington.k12.oh.us.
