A Message From The Music Supervisor:

August 13, 2012



Dear Crossroads North and South Music Families,

In the spring, you received information from our district announcing a new online registration and payment service that is available to every family to pay for various fee-based programs. Due to the fact that in the upcoming months various school programs will be included that will require payment, every family is strongly encouraged to register before the start of the school year, even if your son or daughter is not entering a fee-based program at this time. Every family in our schools is strongly encouraged to register in our online program at this time and to keep user name and passwords in a secure location for future use.

Please note that some of our fee-based programs do not fall under the Pay to Participate fees that have a cap of $300.00 per family. If a family does reach the $300.00 cap for Pay to Participate, parents must still register for any additional activities however they will receive notification through the system that they have already reached their cap.

TO REGISTER AND FOR THE CROSSROADS BEFORE SCHOOL MUSIC PROGRAM AND TRANSPORTATION:

1. Go to www.sbschools.org <http://www.sbschools.org>

2. Select “Online Registration and Payments” from the quick link along the left side of the webpage, then proceed to “Crossroads Middle School Music Programs”. This registration will go live on August 15 and end on September 15. If you miss this deadline, or your child is not on the list, please email Brian.Stike@sbschools.org, and this will be taken care of.

3. Use your debit/charge card to make online payments – Please remember that there is no transaction fee for making an online payment.


You will also be able to view your transaction history at any time. As in the past, there is a $300.00 cap per family for programs that fall under Pay to Participate for the 2012-2013 school year.

If you have any questions concerning registration or payment, please e-mail us at SBXRDS.PTP@sbparents.org

Enjoy the rest of your summer!
