Bookkeeping Reminders - Obligations Now is the time to start addressing any financial obligations that may be owed by your student. Some examples of financial obligations are fees and dues not paid, uniforms and equipment not returned, and textbooks or library books overdue. Every student is responsible for the payment of the $10.00 ID/Class due fee, every year. For security and safety reasons, we may have printed an ID for your student even though they did not pay for it. In this case, the charge becomes an obligation. For Seniors, nonpayment of obligations may result in the withholding of their diploma. For Underclassman, nonpayment may prevent participation in the program for the following year. All obligations are carried over each year. Keeping on top of them prevents any financial “surprises” in senior year. The return of textbooks, library books, uniforms and equipment, will take that charge off your obligations. Textbooks should be returned in the front office to Mrs. Hebert. Library books and DSC textbooks should be returned to Ms. Piggotte in the Media Center. Uniforms and equipment should be returned to the appropriate coach or teacher. Payments can be made with the bookkeeper by cash, check or credit card from 7:15am-3:15pm. All checks must have the student’s name and a phone number in the memo portion. You may also pay on the Webstore at Mainlandhighschool.org Yearbooks by selecting the Obligations tab. There is Yearbooks are selling fast, secure your a 4% service fee when using a credit card. book for $70.
