SEYCOVE STUDENT INVOICES

As per Board Policy 706, the Superintendent of Schools reviews annually the schedule of school fees for all schools, and provides this schedule to Trustees for information. Seycove’s fee schedule went to the Board on December 14, 2010.

Workbooks

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.

Basic Student Invoice

Students are given the Basic Student Invoice on September 6th which includes the following:

• 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.

• Graduation Activity Fee (Grade 12s only) - $35

This fee is used to defray the cost of the graduation ceremony. Other optional activities may incur costs throughout the year.

• Yearbook Fee - $50 - Optional

The purchase of yearbooks is optional. The receipt of fees determines the number of books ordered in January. Extra books are not usually available in June.

• PAC Donations – Optional (Tax Deductible)

Donations to PAC are optional. The Emergency Prep donation ($5) is used by PAC to purchase emergency supplies & equipment for emergency preparation. The Transportation  donation ($20) is used by PAC to purchase and operate the school vans. The Technology Upgrade donation ($10) is used by PAC towards the upgrade of computer equipment in the school.

• Outstanding Fees - Previous Year

Any monies owing from the previous school year are added to the current year’s invoice.

Supplemental Student Invoice

Supplemental fees will be determined mid-October, once the majority of course changes have been completed. At that time, a Supplemental Student Invoice will be sent home (late October):

• Supplemental Fees - by Course

In accordance with the School Act, all students at Seycove 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.

For students who withdraw, refund of fees paid will be prorated up until the end of January. After that time, there will be no refund of course fees.
