There will be no fees or cost charged to students to participate in regular day school programs. Fees may be charged where the student chooses to upgrade the material or where purchase of material is optional. Students enrolled in Grand Erie schools can expect to be provided with the basic classroom learning resources that are required in order to complete the course expectations. It is recognized there may be optional resources that students may purchase to enhance their program; e.g. field trips, workbooks, upgrading materials in courses such as construction technology and visual arts. Students may choose enhanced program options where fees are required to recover associated costs.
Students are expected to come to school ready and willing to participate actively in their own learning. To that end, students are expected to bring materials with them for their own personal schoolwork. Teachers will communicate the basic materials needed to complete learning tasks in each class, e.g. pencils, pens, pencil crayons, markers, erasers, rulers, calculators, etc.
Students are required to pay the $35.00 student activity fee. The activity fee includes but is not limited to access to the co-instructional program (e.g., all sports, clubs, school dances and other school activities). This fee also includes a Student ID Card (once Picture Day has taken place)
Students involved in co-instructional teams, groups and clubs will be made aware of any additional fund-raising obligations or participation fees prior to making a commitment to participate. **Students and families experiencing hardship may contact the school administration for assistance to support students' success in school.
