ONLINE FEE PAYMENT UPDATE
We’re preparing to open online fee payments for the 2025–26 school year, but due to an unforeseen delay in Infinite Campus’s payment processor transition, payments are temporarily on hold. To help you plan ahead, we’re sharing this summary of fees so you can review what to expect. Click here to view 2025–26 Fee Summary.
No action is needed yet — we’ll email families as soon as payments can be made. Thanks for your patience and understanding!
