Fee Waiver Information
Some students may be unable to pay the Enrollment and Registration fees. Students will not be denied educational services or academic credit due to the inability of their parent or guardian to pay fees or certain charges. Students whose parent or guardian is unable to afford student fees may receive a fee waiver. A fee waiver applies to all fees related to school, instruction, and extracurricular activities. A fee waiver does not exempt a student from charges for planners, P.E. uniforms, lost and damaged books, locks, materials, supplies, and/or equipment.
Applications for Enrollment and Registration fee waivers may be obtained from the school office and may be submitted by a parent or guardian of a student who has been assessed a fee. A student is eligible for a fee waiver if
-
- The student currently lives in a household that meets the free lunch or breakfast eligibility guidelines established by the federal government pursuant to the National School Lunch Act.
- The student’s parent is a veteran or active-duty military personnel with income at or below 200% of the federal poverty line.
- The student is homeless, as defined by the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act.
The building principal will give additional consideration where one or more of the following factors are present:
- An illness in the family;
- Unusual expenses such as fire, flood, storm damage, etc.;
- Unemployment;
- Emergency situations; or
- When one or more of the parents/guardians are involved in a work stoppage.
The building principal will notify the parent/guardian promptly as to whether the fee waiver request has been granted or denied. Questions regarding the fee waiver application process should be addressed to the building principal.
