semester. Additionally, participation in optional extracurricular activities( such as athletics participation, field trips, etc.) that require payment is prohibited when a student’ s tuition payments are not current.
No student who has an outstanding tuition balance will be allowed to attend the following year, nor will s / he be considered graduated from the school without the consent of the school board.( Diplomas and transcripts will not be issued to these graduates until tuition accounts are current.) Outstanding tuition balances past the school-year end must have a repayment plan submitted and approved by the school’ s finance committee. Failure to make payments on outstanding balances will result in the account going to collections.
