How Does the Booster Treasury Communicate the Fair Share?
Invoices
An Invoice from Quickbooks/Intuit will be sent to parents' emails in May for annual fais share associated with a band class and optional fall activities. Another invoice will be sent around December for optional Spring activities. A payment schedule has been provided for household budgeting. It also helps us pay our expenses in a timely manner.
Statements
Student statements will be sent out monthly showing the remaining balance on any open invoices. This is sent monthly as a reminder until balances are fully paid.
Check your email regularly and don't forget to look in your spam/junk folders. We would appreciate your cooperation in achieving a goal of 100% payment participation in 2025 - 2026 to keep our Lambert Bands Program THRIVING and STRONG!
Full Payments are always welcome and appreciated.
Please reach out if you need to set up a payment plan that works better for your family. Communicate with us!
What do the dues cover?
The dues for each program is determined by the Band Directors based on a yearly budget that they prepare in great detail to determine the cost associated with their vision for the programs. The budget is then presented to all parents for feedback, then a vote for approval is held.
