Payments are due by the 28th of the prior month (You pay October 28th for the month of November).

Enrichment Programs
You will be billed after registration for the program closes. We do this in case the class does not meet the minimum participants, and the class needs to be canceled. 
Payments are due PRIOR to starting the activity. Students who have not paid will be asked to sit out of the activity until payment is made. 
You can see our enrichment programs through this website, just go back to the Extended Learning tab, and click on your child's school.
