FEE WAIVERS FOR AP, SAT, ACT
Fees for these tests are the student’s responsibility; however, students participating in the Free and/or Reduced Lunch program are potentially eligible for a fee waiver for the SAT, the ACT, and AP exams. Students who qualify should meet with their counselor at the start of the school year.
FIELD TRIPS
Field trips by students, accompanied by teachers, are an integral part of the educational program; worthwhile instructional trips supplement classroom activities. Students will not be charged a fee to attend required field trips. However, students will normally be charged to take part in optional field trips.
All school regulations are in effect during field trips. Dress code is in effect on all field trips unless otherwise noted on the field trip permission form. Each student going on the trip is to return a signed Parent Permission Form to the classroom teacher. Transportation will be arranged by the teacher; on occasion, parents are required to provide transportation for their son/daughter to a field trip site. All students must return to the school with the group. Any student, at the discretion of the Assistant Principal of Men or Women, can be denied field trip participation.
