School Fees have been added in ASPEN (aspen.cps.edu). You may also submit a check directly to the main office with the student's name written in the notes section.


Purchasing materials through the student fee enables us to make sure every student has what they need for the first day of school and save families money through bulk purchasing.


Waters' School Fee ($175 per student) includes the following:

  • Student instructional supplies (folders, pencils, notebooks, etc.)

  • Consumable student textbooks/workbooks

  • Online licenses for student accounts

  • Local classroom field trips for the school year

  • One School Spirit T-Shirt


The fee DOES NOT include:

  • Personal items like backpacks, lunchboxes and water bottles

  • Overnight & Downstate Field Trips (White Pines Ranch, Springfield and New York City)

Student fees are due Friday, September 18. There is no student fee for PreK.



For any issues with the school fee or accessing your parent ASPEN account, please email Ms. Mendez.
