School Fees
Colorado State Law (CRS 22-32-117) allows the Board of Education to authorize the collection of fees. The district supplies students with textbooks and instructional materials which are necessary for successful completion of approved courses of study. Students may be required to pay the cost of these, as well as materials for projects when the items produced will be retained by the student. Find out about the details of school and bus fees on the Student Fees web page.
Students who qualify for Free and Reduced Meals may qualify to have additional fees waived. See the 2018-19 Eligibility Guidelines. When completing the Free and Reduced Price Meal Application, parents must consent to the disclosure of the application information for use as an application for other fee waivers. Check boxes designating what programs the information can be used for are included on the bottom of the meal application. Please be sure to check the boxes if you want to apply for additional fee waivers.
Parents can pay fees online by logging in to Jeffco Connect beginning Monday, July 30, 2018, and throughout the school year.
