TEXTBOOKS

Currently a new textbook costs the school between $45.00 and $60.00.  It is therefore imperative that students take good care of the books issued to them.  Students must cover each of their textbooks with a book cover.  Any reasonable paper cover, including newspaper or paper sack will be acceptable.  Students are responsible to pay fines for upkeep on schoolbooks due to misuse.  All students are required to pay for any lost textbook assigned to them.

TEXTBOOK FEES

Glenwood Community School District students in grades kindergarten through twelfth, are required to pay a $28.00 textbook fee at the time of fall registration.  The maximum K-12 textbook fee per family is $84.00 payable at any building. 

In fairness to all patrons of the Glenwood District, the following guidelines will be used to collect the 2005-2006 textbook fee.

The Glenwood Community School District truly understands the financial restraints placed upon families and are therefore more than willing to work with anyone who would like to set up a payment plan.  Please visit with one of the building principals by September 16.   Textbook fees will be waived for families approved for free student meals.  The yearly textbook fee per child of families who qualify for reduced-priced student meals will be $14.00.

OTHER MIDDLE SCHOOL FEES AND REQUIRED SCHOOL SUPPLIES

Along with their annual $28.00 textbook fee, Glenwood Middle school students will be expected to provide their own general school supplies--paper, pencils, pens, and rulers, and so on.  Some teachers may require specific items such as notebooks, note cards, colored pencils or markers, art pads, etc., however, each teacher will let his/her students know what they will need.   A school supply list will also be posted in the building during summer registration or parents may call the office for information.  Eighth grade students in Family and Consumer Science (home economics) will be expected to purchase sewing supplies as need.  Most family and consumer science supplies and projects can be purchased for under $25.00 per year.  Again, the teacher will advise.   All students will be required to take their daily planners to all classes every day.   (Planners are provided by the school.)

Students renting school-owned band instruments will be charged $25.00 per quarter for wind instruments and $10.00 per quarter for percussion instruments.  Students who have their own instrument, but who also play a school owned, wind instrument, will not be charged a usage fee, however, any repairs incurred while the instrument is in the student's possession will be the student's responsibility.  Instrument fees are due at the beginning of each quarter or the student pay may the entire year’s fee when he/she registers.

Middle school students may purchase a $35.00 activity ticket that will admit them to any HOME event with the exception of some athletic tournaments and fundraising events.  Middle school students are NOT REQUIRED to purchase an activity ticket.  Student admission at the door for a middle school athletic event is $3.00 for a high school athletic event.  Tournament and fundraiser prices will vary.  Student admission to a middle school game will be determined before our first event.

Fines will also be assessed for damage to any school owned property, including, but not limited to, equipment, lockers, books and vehicles.  

Every student will develop the skills to be an independent, cooperative, respectful citizen with a positive attitude.
