Skatetime PE Unit - Permission Slips & Payment due by February 27

Beginning on March 16 through March 27, 2026, our PE classes will be participating in an in-house skating program.  The skates will be delivered directly to the school.  Due to insurance purposes, we will be exclusively using Skatetime's skates. The fee for this unit will be $13 per student which can be paid online through Campus Parent Portal or by sending exact cash in an envelope labeled with "Skatetime," your student's first and last name and their PE teacher's name (checks are not accepted and we are not able to provide change).

Your student will be bringing home a permission slip which you need to sign off on and have your student return to their PE teacher.  Please also have your student watch for a questionnaire to complete in their PE Course in Schoology regarding information on shoe size. If your student misplaces their permission slip, you can access a copy here: Skatetime Permission Slip.

Campus Fees: Class Fees, Fines & Field Trips

As middle schoolers, our communication about library books is primarily handled through the student. Weekly emails are sent to students if they have overdue library books so they should be checking their school emails regularly. When students have lost, damaged, or overdue library books, we expect them to communicate this information home to parents. Students may request we email home or they can call parents to inform them of any issues that need to be taken care of related to library books. Students may not check out any new library books until the overdue book is returned, renewed, or paid for if lost.

Books that are extremely overdue (one month or more overdue) will be considered lost and must be paid for. Students with lost or damaged book fees may not check out any new books until fees have been paid. Lost materials that are found within 30 days of payment will receive a full refund. 

All lost book fees may be paid with cash in the RMS Media Center or via Campus Fees in Parent Portal. 

Please contact annie.allen@isd728.org if you have any questions.
