Parent Dues

As parents and guardians of a South student, each of you are members of the South Parent Group. Each year parent dues 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 dues for 2024-2025 school year per student varies by grade.  

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.  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.  There will be a late fee of $25 starting November 1st.

Thank you for your continued support for our school! In 2024-2025 we are striving for 100% parent participation.

Pay your South Parent Group dues.
