New $160 District Class Fee
Added July 19, 2010
As many of you are finding out, the school district is charging $160 per class per semester for any classes over 7 that your student is registered for. Lunch and Seminary do not count toward the seven. This is not a band fee and the money does not go to the band program. This is a District Class Fee. Our booster president is finding more information for you all to give you during he parent meeting next week. If you feel the need to call, all questions about the class fee will need to be directed to the Gilbert School's district office - 480-497-3300.
Please do not worry at this time if you are unable to pay the new class fee. Your student will not be dropped from the class for now. More information will follow.
