Reminder to Smart Tuition Account Holders:
as you begin making payments in June on your 2017-2018 Smart Tuition account,
please remember to change the school
year in your account number from 16
to 17. Account numbers are broken down as follows: 02300 is the school code; 17 refers to the
school year; and the last six digits reflect your individual family’s
account. If you continue making payments
using the 16 school year, they will apply to your 2016-17 account, generating
an overpayment status. Your 2017-18
account will then appear delinquent, causing $50 late fees to accrue each month
the payments are missing. If you have
any questions about this, please call Smart Tuition’s Parent help center at
1-888-868-8828.
Is your child looking forward to joining band for the first time next year? Our FMI instructor, Mrs. Debbie Morse, will host an informational meeting for parents interested in learning more about first time participation in instrumental music lessons and band on Monday, June 12th in the Music/Art Portable at 7pm. Please join her to learn more about Future Musicians, Inc. and the Band and Instrumental Music program here at SMS.
Summer Instrumental Music Lessons - Mrs. Morse will be offering half-hour lessons at St. Mary's School for $25 per lesson on selected Wednesdays this summer. For more information and to reserve your lesson dates and times, please click here.
iPad News -
All iPads should be turned in "as is" - devices should not be reset. iPads will be inspected for physical damage. If there is any visible physical damage, you will be billed $40. As you know, we are going to be replacing all of our school owned iPads. Our current inventory of devices is being turned into a "buy back" company. This company will be paying us $60 for a device in "good" condition and $20 for a device in "busted" condition. We are requesting the $40 for damaged devices to recoup the loss we will incur on "buyback" rather than requesting the $50 repair fee that would normally be charged.
Next year, all students in grades K-8 will receive a brand new 32GB iPad with a school owned case. These iPads will be Apple's most currently released version of the standard size iPad. We are excited about new capabilities that will be available to use using the JAMF Device Management System and to introduce coding as part of our continuing effort to meaningfully integrate technology in our curriculum.
