End of the School Year "Turn in" -  

1.    As we get ready to end our school year, please take a moment to look for any SMS library or classroom books that may still be at home and return them. 

2.   All students in Grades K-8 are required to return their school issued iPad charging cord and charging brick.  It is important that the cord/brick combination is THE ONE issued by the school because we need to assure consistency in our school owned equipment.  Please return these items in a labeled ziploc bag.  Failure to return these items or return of non-school owned items will result in a bill for replacement cost.  Also, please be aware that all iPads and covers are inspected for visual and physical damage upon return.  If a repair or replacement of either the iPad or the cover is necessary, a bill will be generated for the $50 repair for the iPad or the replacement cost of the cover.

Reminder to Smart Tuition Account Holders who make payments via invoice -  As you begin making payments in June on your 2021-2022 Smart Tuition account, please remember to change the school year in your account number from 20 to 21.  Account numbers are broken down as follows:  02300 is the school code; 21 refers to the school year; and the last six digits reflect your individual family’s account.  If you continue making payments using the 20 school year, they will apply to your 2020-21 account, generating an overpayment status.  Your 2021-22 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 contact center at 1-888-868-8828.

Note that this change occurs automatically for families who have Smart Tuition draw their payments from checking, savings, or credit card accounts.
