Parents can set up payment plans with the school principal or secretary. Parents can also email studentfees@madison.k12.wi.us to set up payment plans.

Fees carry over from year to year and stay on the student record until they are paid.  Fee payments should be made in the current year to avoid carrying over unpaid fees.

You can pay fees online through the Parent Portal of Infinite Campus with a credit card, debit card, or e-check.  You can also pay fees at the school office in person or by sending a check or cash with the student.  You can also mail a check to the school or to the District Accounting Office at 545 W. Dayton Street, Madison, WI  53703.

Student fee waivers are granted through the enrollment process by providing answers to the Socio-Economic Status (SES) question on the online enrollment application and answering “Yes” to all District fees.  In addition, you must complete the Free or Reduced-price meals form here if you want the District to use this information for the fee waiver.  Please review the Socio-Economic Status video during the online Enrollment process. 

You can change the answer to the SES question by contacting the school secretary for help.

WIAA determines the first day of practice. Typically students are rostered into the sports in IC about 7-10 days after the sport begins. Once a student is rostered, the athletic fee will be added to the student's Infinite Campus account.

Parents can see fees that were paid with a surplus balance by using the dropdown menu and selecting "all fee types" instead of just "unpaid fees". If a fee was paid with a surplus balance, it will show a zero balance.
