PAYMENT OF ACCOUNTS

A reminder that:

At Wideview Public School we use an envelope system to collect money. To avoid confusion and minimise error, we ask that you please read the following carefully. The Office Staff are only too happy to assist, should you need further clarification. Money Days are Tuesdays and Thursdays of each week only.

Money should be returned in the school envelope provided with each excursion note, clearly marked with your child’s:

· Name

· Class

· Amount of money in the envelope

· and the excursion/event for which you are paying.

The permission note in most cases is now on the back of the money envelope, which is provided for your convenience. Please ensure that this permission note is fully completed and signed, noting any allergies or other concerns that might affect your child’s participation on the excursion.

Children may not attend excursions without the written consent of the parents or guardians.

Please note that it is permissible for money to be sent in one envelope for all children in the family, as long as it is marked with each child’s name and class and indicates clearly the excursion or event being paid for. For example:

Jane Smith	K/1E	$20 part payment school contribution
		$3 Zoo
Jim Smith	3M	$20 part payment school contribution
		$30 Wind Ensemble fee
Tony Smith	6B	$20 part payment school contribution
		$50 part payment Canberra excursion
		*= Cash / Cheque/Credit Card payment for $149.00 enclosed*

If you do choose to enclose payments for different children in the same envelope, it is most important that you return a separate permission note for each child. This separate permission note must go to the child’s individual class teacher, not to the school office.

If a separate permission note is required, please do not place these permission notes inside the money envelope.

Some parents prefer to pay directly at the office if a large amount of cash is involved. If you do so, please ensure that the office person receiving the money, writes on the Permission Slip that the money has been paid at the office. The class teacher will then know to mark your child’s name off on his or her list. This saves any embarrassment for the child.

If one child brings the money, please mark on each permission note to which class the money has been paid.

All cheques (unless otherwise directed), should be made payable to “Wideview Public School”.

A receipt will be issued for every amount received, regardless of the amount, and sent home with your child. Please check your child’s bag regularly to ensure you receive these receipts. The amount received in the envelope by the office will be the amount receipted - this will enable you to check the correct amount has been paid, and also enable you to keep a record of payment.

Remember the most important things are:

· Sign separate permission notes for each of your children.

· Send the separate permission note to each child’s teacher so his or her name can be marked off on the teacher’s list.

· If you need help ring 9456 1655, and we will be happy to assist.

Eftpos facilities are now available. If you wish to use the swipe facility please come to the office on Tuesdays and Thursdays before 11.30am. If you are unable to attend on these days, please send along a form (available from the office), with the relevant details and these will be processed on the following Tuesday/Thursday. Please note this option is available for credit card holders only.

We also offer payment by instalment if this will help with your budget. If you wish to take advantage of this offer, please contact the office to make appropriate arrangements.

If you have any further queries please do not hesitate to contact the school office.
