2010-11 Board-Approved Fees

The School Act allows for certain fees to be collected for instructional supplies and materials provided for the student’s personal use or consumption.  The fees charged are usually on a shared-cost basis between the parent/guardian and Foundations for the Future Charter Academy. 

The Board approved a slight increase in the resource fees, which have not been increased since 2006-07.  The 2010-11 fee structure is as follows:

                                    Kindergarten                 $110.00

                                    Grades 1 to 6                $135.00

                                    Grades 7 to 12              $185.00

                                    Family Maximum             $375.00

The transportation fee has been held at the same level for the past three years, however it has now become necessary to raise the rates due to an ongoing shortfall of funding over expenses for the past few years.  The fee will be as follows:

                                    Kindergarten                            $350.00

                                    Grades 1 to 12 (two-way)          $700.00

                                    Grades 1 to 12 (one-way)          $500.00

                                    Family Maximum                        $1800.00

Transportation fees can once again be paid in one lump sum or you may choose the four installment method.

In addition to these fees the middle schools ($100) and high school ($125) charge a textbook deposit fee that is refundable at the end of the school year if all school owned property under the student’s responsibility are returned to the campus.

The middle schools charge an activity fee for grades 5 & 6 ($60) and grades 7 & 8 ($180) that covers option costs and the yearbook.

The high school has additional fees for electives and those fee amounts are specific to each course.  Please visit the High School Campus webpage at http://www.ffca-calgary.com/FFCA/FFCA%20High%20School/default.aspx (contained in the High School Handbook under Documents) or call the school office at 403-243-3316.
