Senior Class Dues

Senior Class Dues

Parents:

Senior class dues are $110 total per student. If you have previously paid $55 for junior dues, you will only owe $55 as a senior. Please contact Mrs. Kiefaber nmkiefaber@fcps.edu to check if previous payments were made.  It is recommended that dues are paid by credit card or echeck on myschoolbucks.com.  Checks or cash will be accepted at school.  Checks should be made payable to Chantilly High School with the name of your student and Class of 2019 on the memo of your check. Please either have your student bring it in to the main office or send by mail to CHS, 4201 Stringfellow Road, Chantilly, VA 20151 attn: Class Dues

(For the Class of 2020, 2021 and 2022, we will only collect senior dues during senior year.  If you have already paid, you will be credited for senior year dues.)

Class Dues Information:

Each high school must pay for the cost of all class activities and events, with Graduation being one of the most important and expensive, individually. The school system does not give the schools funds for any of these activities. Dues are collected senior year (previously being split between junior and senior year) for this purpose. Since quite a few events occur senior year, here is a partial list of what your dues pay for: all class activities, including Convocation and Graduation, along with practices for the actual events. Graduation is the largest cost item, running about $40,000 each year. Some of these expenses include: rental of Eagle Bank Arena (approximately $17,000) * Security (police) at Graduation (over $500) * Caps, gowns, tassels and diploma covers (over $11,000) * Flowers (used at all three events) * Printing for all events (over $2,000) * Set-up costs (custodians) * Bus costs for band and chorus who perform at Graduation

These are only part of the costs for putting on the terrific graduations we have each year so that they are a memorable occasion for all. In addition, it is tradition that each year the senior class presents a gift to the school.

**Senior class dues and any other obligations must be paid in order to buy Prom tickets or participate in the graduation ceremony.

If you have any questions, please contact Robyn Lady ralady@fcps.edu in Student Services, class administrator for the Class of 2019. You may check the amount of dues owed or if there are any outstanding obligations with Mrs. Kiefaber nmkiefaber@fcps.edu in the front office.

Thank you!
