WHAT’S NEXT?  If you haven’t had a chance to attend the information meeting, please watch the recorded Parent information session and read the slide deck here.  

Every student who would like to attend this year‘s 3 night/2 day Rogers field trip to PALI Institute must meet the following deadlines:

1) A permission slip on their grade-specific colored paper must be turned in to the office or to their science teacher by October 20. Physical copies only!

2) A deposit of $50 must be paid by October 20 to guarantee their spot. Payment must be made either in person at the office during banker’s hours (banker’s hours are 8:30 – 12:30) OR online at the Rogers Store (3% surcharge will apply on all transactions)

3) Payments can be made in person (banker’s hours are 8:30 – 12:30) or online – $150 due October 25 and balance due November 4. You can also pay the $350 in its entirety.

4) If your student wishes to fundraise through www.shopfund.com, the last day is November 4. Forty percent (40%) of all sales will go to the student account and offset the cost.  Our goal is to raise $10,000 and in order to do so, we ask you register today!   Catalogs will be here by Friday.

Personal checks are NOT accepted. You can pay with cash, credit card, ApplePay or Cashier’s Check.
