Book Fair - GRAND Event
Please check your infinite campus account for TEAMS fees that still have an overdue balance. Balances need to be satisfied weekly to avoid being suspended from TEAMS. Once balances are paid down your child will be allowed to return to the program. Please remember that TEAMS ends at 6pm daily. Any students left after 6 pm will be charged an additional $20, plus $1 every minute after 6:05 until picked up. At 6:31 pm if a child is still on campus we are mandated to call Henderson Police and CPS.
