Student Fees - EPay Finally Available!
Our school fee is $75 per student, with a maximum of $150 per family. You can send in check or money order with your child in an envelope marked "instructional fee" or utilize the EPay system. Checks should be made payable to Farnsworth School. Fee waivers are available upon request for families who qualify.
EPay is finally available for school fees for the 25-26 school year!
Please see this attachment with instructions to access the EPay system. You will need your child's CPS ID number to pay the fee. ID numbers are available in the Aspen Parent Portal.
We are looking forward to our Trunk or Treat on October 17 for students in grades Prek-5!
After advocating for our students over the past two years, we are happy to share that CPS has replaced our front steps! Our next project that we are advocating for is repairing the asphalt on the back side of the building!
Thank you to our early childhood classrooms and families for sponsoring our "little garden" and to Ms. Ryan for helping our prek and kindergarten students create a new garden sign!
