School Fees & Supplies

School Fees Information for 2025-2026

Each school year, parents and guardians support their child(ren)’s formal learning experiences in a wide variety of ways. We appreciate all that you do to ensure a successful year!

In addition to providing the school supplies itemized on a grade list, families are periodically asked for monies to cover specific items and/or special events. As we plan for the upcoming school year, we anticipate the following costs:

Student Planner: We encourage all students in Grades 1-7 to purchase a School Planner at a cost of $5.00. Included in the planner is our school code of conduct, school calendar and school district information. We find this to be an excellent tool for facilitating home/school communication, as well as for developing our students’ organizational skills. However, using our school planner is optional.

Field Studies and Field Trips: Classes often enjoy educational visits to community facilities which extend and enhance the curriculum. While we use school monies or fundraise to cover the costs of such activities wherever possible, there are times when parents/guardians are asked to contribute towards the cost of the trip. If financial assistance is required to pay for a field trip, please contact Ms. Anderson. If you choose to have your child not participate in a field study, a suitable program will be provided at the school.

School Supplies: For students in Grades 1-7, parents/guardians have the option of purchasing their child’s school supplies on their own utilizing the grade supply list or for your convenience you may wish to purchase supplies from School Start. Please refer to the online ordering link sent in the May newsletter #18. Cost for supplies will vary between intermediate and primary and will not exceed $65. 

Kindergarten: Parents have the option of purchasing their child’s school supplies on their own or purchasing through the school a one-time fee of $50.00 for supplies. This cost will cover supplies. If you would like a list of supplies, please contact your child's Kindergarten teacher.

Be assured we will be sensitive to your needs and no student at Walnut Road will be denied an opportunity to participate in any activity or receive the necessary school item through an inability to pay. Please let your child(ren)’s teacher or Ms. Anderson know if any of these fees present a financial hardship. Should you have any questions and/or concerns about school fees, please contact Ms. Anderson.
