Pay attention to your student account

After the high school’s tuition allotment has been applied to your account, any remaining balance for tuition is your/your parent(s) responsibility to pay. A statement outlining the balance due will be sent home around week six of the semester. The balance must be paid by the designated due date (approximately seven weeks later) or your final semester grades will be withheld from your high school. You can view your student account in Ìýunder the Finances tab.
