Dear Viola Class of 2024 Parents/Guardians,
We are thrilled to have your student this year in the Viola Junior Class. We want to make you aware that your student has several activities this year in which they will be engaging in with their peers. With that, your child’s 2022-2023 class dues need paid as soon as possible. The class dues system was implemented to aid in funding the classes’ activities. Class dues are used to cover the cost of the student’s prom, graduation expenses, and other class needs. Dues will go directly to the 2024 class account. Your child’s due are collected at the beginning of each school year. This amount is $10.00 per year. If your child did not pay previous dues, they will need to bring them current. For example, students who have not paid and of their dues will owe $50.00. Dues can be paid in one total sum or broke up in smaller payments if needed. If you are unsure if your student paid last year or in the previous years beginning in 7th grade, please contact Mrs. E. Information will be provided to you on whether or not your student has paid their pervious class dues and the sum he/she may currently owe.
If you have questions/concerns please contact Mrs. E @ (870)458-2323 or ened@viola.ncsc.k12.ar.us
