The school’s bookkeeping office accepts checks, money orders, credit cards and debit cards for payment of school fees. Returned checks are subject to a $20.00 fee to cover bank charges assessed to the high school. The school DOES NOT cash checks or make change for students or adults.

Students with outstanding fees and fines WILL NOT BE ELIGIBLE for participation in extracurricular activities.  Students who do not clean out their lockers at the end of the year may be assessed a $25.00 cleaning  fee. 

ASSOCIATED STUDENT BODY FEES 

All students are encouraged to become members of the Student Body Association. Such membership has numerous advantages. The holder of a student body activity card is entitled to admission at all student body functions: football, basketball, softball and baseball games, volleyball and wrestling matches, track meets and student body sponsored assemblies. The card must be presented for student admission; otherwise adult prices will be charged. Students are entitled to a voice in all student body affairs and functions.  

Membership in the Student Body Association is encouraged but not required. However, such membership  represents so many savings and advantages and provides so many worthwhile activities that students have  been nearly one hundred per cent supporters.  

A student must be currently enrolled at Ridgevue High School to use a Ridgevue High School A.S.B. card for admission to events. The A.S.B. card must be turned in when a student transfers to another school or no longer attends Ridgevue High School.
