STEP 5 – Orchestra Essentials

This $50 may be paid via check, cash, or through an online payment. Checks should made out to the “Shepton HS Orchestra Boosters” and turned in to Mr. Davis in the orchestra room.  Please be sure that the check is labeled with your student’s name and school ID number.  Envelopes are available at the front of the room for students to use to turn fees in.  If there are financial concerns, please contact Mr. Davis through email.

To pay online, you will make a payment through the Membership Toolkit HERE. 

STEP 6 – Private Lesson Signup

This step is incorporated in the form in Section 2.  If you would like to sign up your child for private lessons during the school day but have not filled that form out, please do so. Private lessons are highly encouraged and they provide the extra guidance to help students truly excel. So many of Shepton’s orchestra students study privately, and it is a large part of why our orchestra program is successful. 

STEP 7 – School Instrument Use Fee (This fee will be active soon on StudentQuickPay/Rycor)

This step can be ignored by anyone who is not using a school owned instrument.

Please note that this fee won’t show up on StudentQuickPay until sometime during the second week of school. This information is here just for your reference – no action should be taken on this during the first week of school.  Mr. Davis will email all school instrument users once the fee is ready to pay.

Plano ISD assesses an $85.00 instrument use fee for all students using a school instrument in the course of the year. The preferred method to pay it is on StudentQuickPay.com/PISD.  On StudentQuickPay, you’ll have the option to either pay with e-check (50 cent fee) or credit card (3.5% transaction fee).

If paying online is not an option, you may send cash or a check to school made out to “PISD.”  This check should be placed in an envelope from the front of the room and given directly to Mr. Davis.

Please turn in your form to Mr. Davis along with payment.

If there are financial concerns, please contact Mr. Davis privately.
