Revised User Fee Information
When the User Fee information was originally released, information about fees associated with Ice Hockey were not included. Additionally, there has been clarification about the Co-Curricular Activity Fee. We have already received many questions about the new fee system, so we will be generating a “Frequently Asked Questions” Sheet later in the month to help answer some of them prior to the start of school. Look for it on our NM Blog!

NEW USER FEE SCHEDULE
Dear Parents and Guardians:
The financial situation troubling our country, our state, our communities, and our families continues to challenge the District's ability to offer our children the broadest co- and extra-curricular program opportunities without assessing fees. As you know, the fees are used to offset the costs of these popular and important programs. While we deeply regret the necessity of charging students fees to participate in various activities, we feel it is a better option than simply eliminating the co- and extra-curricular programs that benefit so many students as they complete their middle and high school years.
The North Middlesex Regional School Committee believes that co- and extra-curricular programs are essential to a high quality educational experience. Clearly, committee members agonized over the financial circumstances that required them to even contemplate increasing current and/or adding additional student participation fees. However, in order to continue current program offerings, assessing student fees was necessary.
As has been the case in the past, with the exception of parting and/or class dues, all other fees are waived for any student who qualifies for free and/or reduced lunch. While most area schools assess student fees in order to support various programs, we are ever mindful that the impact of fees on families and will work to reduce and/or eliminate fees when the financial climate improves sufficiently to do so.
Please see the fee schedule listed below for the 2011-2012 school year.
Sincerely,
Susan Robbins
Chair, North Middlesex Regional School Committee
Maureen M. Marshall
Superintendent of Schools

HONOR ROLL AND "ON A ROLL"!
OUR HONOR ROLL
Celebrating student success is something that we need to do more of. Not only because it is important for those who have been successful to hear it, but because it helps to inspire others to do the same. These students are those who can show us all that “…a #2 pencil and a dream can take you anywhere!” (J. Myers) The following students have made the honor roll for all four quarters this year and/or had perfect attendance! Congratulations
