The 2026–2027 student fees schedule has now been approved, and families should begin preparing for back-to-school costs. The district’s approved fee appendix includes supply fees, course fees, and certain program-specific charges by school and grade level.

It is also important for families to know that the district’s student fees policy includes economic hardship waivers. A parent or guardian may request a waiver through the school principal or designee, and the policy lists eligibility categories such as public assistance, foster care, homelessness, recent active military service, eligibility for free or reduced-price meals in certain settings, or emancipated minor status. The policy also states that students should not be denied access to instructional activities or have academic records withheld because of an inability to pay fees.

We look forward to an incredible 2026-2027 school year. For now, enjoy your summer!
