South Parent Group Dues
As parents and guardians of a South student, each of you are members of the South Parent Group (SPG). Each year funds are collected to support various programs for our students and staff. Please see below to see how funds are allocated across various programs and events.
The SPG dues# for 2026-2027 school year per student are as follows:
Grades TK and K = $287
Grades 1 through 4 = $277
Grade 5 = $417
The variance in amounts is due to additional supplies needed per grade. TK and K dues include an emergency fund contribution. Grade 5 dues include additional funds for the promotion ceremony and party, end-of-year parent party and class gift. Please note that dues do not include field trips.
Thank you for your continued support for our school! In 2026-2027 we are striving for 100% participation from our parent community to fund this year's staff appreciation, student events, classroom activities, annual yearbooks and so much more. If you haven't yet, please join us in reaching our goal!
