Field Trips
Field trips are all mandatory except the ones indicated as optional by the administration during the year. There is 7 to 8 Field Trips during the year (indoors and outside the school). Generally speaking, all field trips are outside the school except during winter months (January, February, March), but that can change as the school deems suitable. When the field trips are outside the school, we hire First Student bus company to transport the students and staff. We might ask parents help in transportation in certain situations. We will ask for Chaperon parents as needed.
Optional field trips are billed separately from the Field Trips field above.
Sanitizing & Disinfection Fee
This fee started with COVID due to the exceptional measures the school is taking to keep everyone safe. This includes the frequent deep-cleaning of the building, the daily spraying of all the rooms, the replacement of HEPA-compliant filters on our COVID Air Purifiers, providing masks, sanitizing material, thermometers and more. This goes beyond the normal routine daily cleaning (which wasn't attached to a fee). However, this cleaning process will continue after COVID as the general flu, strep throat, pink eye, and other common sicknesses were reduced due to such measures.
Educational Resources (Textbooks, Novels, Material, Manipulatives, etc.)
This covers a wide array of items used to help students' education. This includes textbooks for the different subjects, sets of novels, class educational material and/or Montessori material, Art and Gym supplies and equipment, Science equipment and tools for experiments and field studies, and many more.
Technology Fee
Each student is grades 4-8 is assigned an individual Chromebook. Students in those grades use a plethora of tech platforms to further their education such as Google Education Suite, Microsoft Office 365, Clever, ALEKS, MathXL, Keyboarding, and few more. Students in grades 2 and 3 use Chromebooks for the Technology classes throughout the year.
