2026-2027 Fees
Hello Families,
I wanted to give you some general information about fees for the 2026-2027 School
Year
 Course Fees will be added to your child’s account by October 1st.
 Agenda Fees will be added to your child’s account by October 1st.
 Technology fees are done centrally by division and are now on your child’s
account.
ï‚· Sports Fee will be assessed and added within the sports season. An email will
be sent out to let you know when it has been added to the account.
ï‚· Fees for Field trips will be within the Consent Forms.
ï‚· There will be a Statement of Accounts emailed to each family at the end of the
month. For the month of March the statement will come directly from Division.
Bashaw School last year moved over to a Centralization System. Which means
that payments now come from Division office not directly from the school. No
longer are there cheques being written here at the school. Any funds that need
to be returned to students will now come from Division Office. Though the request will be
put in here by me at the office. I will send a direct deposit form to you to be filled
out. Please note this may make payment a bit longer, maybe by a week of two.
Please check your child’s account regularly to see if there is an overpayment( credit )
on the account. If you are making a payment online, the system will automatically
deduct the amount of the overpayment. This allows you to only pay what is needed.
If you are paying in the office there is always a PERMISSION ONLY button that allows
you to give permission for the form and then to bring the money here to the school. If
you are paying in the office, you must have EXACT change. We have no money here at
the school.
Please know that funds can be transferred between siblings. You just need to reach out
to Dawna Andriatz in the office to facilitate this.
If you are having problems with paying any of the school fees please reach out to us
here in the office and we can help with support. There are always solutions.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact the office.
Thank you
Dawna Andriatz
Administrative Assistant (Your friendly neighborhood Secretary)
Welcome New Teachers
You'll see a few new faces around the school. Some have been in the school before and now have a new spot in the school. Teaching grade 1 this year we have Mrs. Vikse. Teaching Grade 4 in the afternoons we have Mrs. Rindero. Big Bashaw Warm Welcome to our kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Pritchard. In the office Miss Caitlin is filling in for Ms. Steele.
PERSONAL MOBILE DEVICES AT SCHOOL
Please help us keep our classrooms focused. We kindly as that parents and guardians refrain from texting students during school hours. Messages exchanged during class can be a big distraction - not just for your child, but for their classmates as well.
If you need to get in touch with them, please call/email the school office and we will make sure your message gets to your child promptly.
Let's work together to support focused learning. We appreciate your cooperation.
