2025/2026 SCHOOL FEES SEM 1/OUTSTANDING BALANCE DUE
Payments can be made through the PowerSchool Parent Portal using a Credit Card or a Visa Debit Card. (Please note that all debit/credit transactions are subject to a 2.4% service charge.) If an online payment is not an option, you may send cash or cheque to the school office with your student (payable to: St. Albert Public Schools 5565).
For Academies: Through PowerSchool, you have the option of creating a Payment Plan, by adding the academy fee to your basket, (only the academy fee no additional fees) and from there you can create instalments.

Reminders:
- We a know there are many instances where students may be unable to attend school unexpectedly and with very little notice.
- Should your child be away due to illness or any other unexpected circumstance, parents will need to notify our hot lunch coordinator by email to wdcutsparents@gmail.com or telephone the school (780-458-8585) to make alternate arrangements. This MUST happen before 11 AM on the day of hot lunch. Any other requests, sent in other ways (e.g. to your child’s teacher) or after the deadline, cannot be considered so please plan accordingly.
- Please provide specific instructions about what should be done with your child's lunch.
- If you wish to pick up at the school, you may do so only after 12:30 PM on the hot lunch day. Items must be picked up the same day for food safety reasons.
- If you would like the lunch to be sent with another student, please clearly indicate the name of that student and their class number (or teacher).
- We are unable to hold lunches overnight or provide any other arrangements.
**If you do not provide instructions for your child(ren)'s fun lunch prior to 11 AM as outlined above, the volunteers will use their discretion to determine next steps. This may include donating the lunch or discarding it. We ask that you treat our volunteers with kindness and respect at all times.
Thank you for your ongoing support of our fun lunch program. It provides valuable fundraising dollars to our school!
