REGISTRATION 2016-17 Please follow the schedule below to determine when your class will register. For those students not able to register on their assigned date and time for their class, they may register after the week of Registration. Registration will begin in Building 1, through the doors on the South side of the building. Many forms are provided in this mailer for you to complete and then bring to Registration. The South Albany High School Registration Information form requests all the necessary information for each student. Please take a moment to confirm the information on that form, and make any necessary revisions. It is important that we have the correct spelling of each student’s name, both legal and preferred; the correct spelling of their parent’s or guardian’s names; the student’s home address and phone number; a list of individuals the student or the school may contact when necessary, including phone numbers and e-mail addresses. The individuals included on the student’s contact list are the only ones the student may be released to during the school day, or may contact, in order to be released from school. This list of contacts may be revised at the request of the parent or legal guardian. Please review the information in this mailer as it will allow your Registration to go smoothly. Registration Hours each day: 7:00 – 10:30 a.m. and 3:00 – 6:30 p.m. August 22 Seniors .

It would be helpful to process these during the summer months to assist your registration process in August. Both current and new students to SAHS are welcome to register with your class. If you are unable to register on the date your class is scheduled, stop by the office the week following registration, August 29th or after. ATTENTION SENIORS: If you anticipate a problem with credits regarding graduation, plan to make an appointment to see your counselor once school begins. Please Note: Students who request an open period in their schedule may or may not be granted this request, depending on whether they are on track to graduate, which includes attendance and credits. To obtain an open period, please complete the form included in this mailer and return to the Counseling Office ~ include parent’s or guardian’s signature.

Greater Albany Public School District’s Check Policy: For a check to be an acceptable form of payment, it must include your current, full and accurate name, address, telephone number, driver’s license number and state. When paying by check, you authorize the recovery of unpaid checks and a $25.00 returned check fee by means of electronic re-presentment or by paper draft. Students are asked to pay their student body fee at Registration, the athletic participation fee (if participating in a sport), and a cap & gown fee (for graduating seniors). Deferred payment will be available to parents and students upon request, and all deferred fees will be billed until the account has been paid. We welcome the opportunity to discuss a payment plan. SENIORS: all deferred payments are to be paid prior to graduation, as well as any unreturned materials, library fines, athletic gear, etc. This includes any debts or materials owing from previous years. Please consider a payment plan at the beginning of the school year. Making payments monthly, or possibly weekly, is an easier way to pay an outstanding balance. Student work days will be scheduled throughout the school year to assist with making payments on accounts. Please contact the Administrative Office at 541-967-4529 for details. All upcoming scheduled work days and SAHS happenings may be received electronically in a newsletter provided by Mr. Belveal. In order to keep on top of all our school happenings, we encourage you to include your e-mail address on the Registration Information form found in this mailer. Student Body fees include the purchase of a student body card. This card is scanned when text books and library books are checked in and out, and it is used for purchasing meals on the Meal Time program. Student body cards are to be shown prior to internet use at school; at the door upon entering a school dance; prior to entering home athletic events at no charge; and for a reduced charge for away league contests. If the card is lost, the replacement cost is $5.00 in the main office. Students who wish to drive to school and park in the student parking lot are to purchase a $5.00 parking permit either at Registration or in the office once school begins. Parking permits are purchased annually. Forms are included in junior and senior packets. PE CLOTHING No need to spend your entire summer savings on PE clothes! Any student taking a physical education class is required to “dress down," and if they are a freshman, they will need to purchase and wear the t-shirt and shorts provided by the school. If you have already purchased these clothes from a previous year and want to continue wearing them, you do not need to purchase another set. This is in an effort to provide appropriate and affordable athletic wear for all students. To avoid theft and permanent loss of one's clothing, both the shirt and shorts will have a space on the front for students to write their name. The t-shirt is a dark grey Hanes heavyweight 50/50 blend with customized Rebel athletic artwork. The shorts are black, dri fit polyester with a 9" inseam, also customized with Rebel artwork. The total cost for this PE clothing is $12. The purchase of this PE uniform is required for all freshmen students enrolled in fitness for life. If payment is of concern at this time, application for a deferment is an option. Sophomores through seniors in PE who are NOT in freshman fitness for life may wear the PE uniform or any other athletic wear that matches the style of the uniform (ie: unaltered crew neck t-shirt and long basketball-type shorts). ATHLETIC PARTICIPATION FEES $ 150.00 per sport $ 300.00 maximum per individual $ 450.00 maximum per family Our primary goal is to provide fun, positive, and successful learning experiences for our athletes.
