STUDENT FEES INFORMATION AND POLICIES 2011-2012
|
|
Fee schedules are established by principals, in consultation with staff, student and parent groups, and provided to the Superintendent for review. As per Board Policy 706, the Superintendent of Schools reviews annually the schedule of student fees for all schools, and provides this schedule to Trustees for information. Carson Graham Secondary’s fee schedule was approved by the Board in December 2010.
Student Activity Fee - $40
As per the recommendation of the School District Fees Task Force, schools may charge a Student Activity Fee to support student activities, student agenda books, student awards and recognition, special events and assemblies.
PAC Computer Lab Donation - $50 (tax deductible) (optional)
Through the generous donations from parents, we are hoping to update our computer labs. The lease program for the labs will be met through the minimum donation of $50.00 per student. Income tax receipts are issued by the board office. The overwhelming support of parents ensures this important technological learning environment. Thank you to the Parent Advisory Committee for your supportive initiative.
PAC Bursary Donation - $10 (optional)
Through the generous donations from parents, this donation is presented in Scholarships to chosen students in their Grade 12 year. Income tax receipts are issued if combined with PAC Computer Lab Donation with minimum donation of $25.00.
Yearbook Fee - $45 (optional)
The purchase of a yearbook is optional. The receipt of payment determines the number of books ordered in January. Extra books are not usually available in June.
Supplemental Fees - by course
In accordance with the School Act, all students at Carson Graham Secondary receive free of charge an educational program sufficient to meet the general requirements for graduation. In accordance with the School Board Fees Order, supplemental fees may be charged for goods and services associated with optional enrichment activities and take home items that extend learning outcomes for students beyond the basic educational program. Supplemental fees are published in the Course Programming Guide available online.
Workbooks - by course
Where students are required to use workbooks in order to meet the course/subject learning outcomes and/or for assessment, workbooks will be provided free of charge. Students may have the opportunity to purchase workbooks that are suggested for optional, supplemental “practice” and are not marked as part of the students’ assessments. Purchase of these workbooks is completely optional as they are not required for successful completion of the courses’ learning outcomes. These workbooks are available for purchase at cost from the school.
Students are sent invoices in October for fees owing for the current school year. A refund will be issued when a student withdraws from Carson Graham Secondary provided all withdrawal procedures are completed and all books/materials are handed in. Refund of fees paid will be prorated up until the end of January. After that time, there will be no refund of supplemental fees. If a refund is due to a student whose sibling has outstanding fees, the refund will first be applied to the sibling's outstanding fees.
Note: $25.00 will be charged for NSF cheques.
International Students
Due to fees already paid at the District level, the Student Activity Fee is waived. Supplemental fees for courses not needed to graduate (Home Ec, Photography) apply. Textbook replacement charges also apply. International students may purchase a Yearbook if they wish.
Fee Waiver
Should you wish to complete a fee waiver application form due to financial hardship, please contact the main office.
Textbook Policy
Students are assigned textbooks by the subject teacher. There is no rental fee charged; however, a student who loses or damages a textbook will be assessed a replacement or damage fee. Students must return the textbook assigned to them. Textbooks are numbered. At distribution time, teachers record the number and students sign a textbook record sheet in receipt and acknowledgement. Students must record their textbook name and number on the form included in their agenda book for their own records. Refunds will be given only if lost textbooks are found and returned by the first week of July. |
