FEES & REGISTRATION: Glenbard utilizes an on-line registration process for families. Please refer to the enclosed “On-Line Registration” flyer contained in this packet for instructions. Both parent/guardian and student will be required to approve on-line policies and terms/conditions. Glenbard’s Student Fee Schedule is located under the “Parents” section of the website.
Required Fees:
1Fee includes device, charger, case, insurance coverage, and loaner program. After the family has made four annual rental payments over the student’s career at Glenbard and the student’s account is paid in full the device will become the property of the student. In other words, this is a rent-to-own program.
Deadline: Families must complete on-line registration and payment by July 30. Registration and payments received after this date will pay the $235 Registration & Fee charge versus the prompt pay fee of $200.
PE Uniform & Lock: PE uniform and & lock will be provided to all incoming freshmen once “in-person” instruction resumes at school. The PE uniform & lock will be directly billed ($26) to you for on-line payment. If needed, returning students will be able to purchase PE uniforms and locks once school is in session.
Simplified Advanced Placement (AP) Fee Process & One Free Test: Glenbard is excited to announce that we have simplified the AP exam fee sign up and payment process for the 2020-21 school year. These changes eliminate the need for families to create a login and pay test fees through a third party and provides every student the opportunity to take their first AP exam at no cost! New for the 2020-21 school year, we will charge the AP exam fee through the registration process in the summer, along with the other student fees. The AP exam is $94 each; AP Seminar & AP Research exams are $142 each. Our School Board has made the investment to defray the cost of the first AP exam for every student, so families will only be responsible for paying the AP exam fee for their student’s additional exams each year. Families will have the opportunity to “opt out” of the exam and fee by October 15, 2020 or February 15, 2021 for 2nd semester only AP courses. After the dates, families will be responsible for a $40 unused/canceled exam fee. More information regarding the AP courses and exams can be located in the “Parents” section of our website under “AP Testing”.
Optional Fees: The athletic participation fee is $150 per student, per year. The fee allows your student to participate in unlimited sports. Note: At this point in time, we hope to offer fall sports (subject to State & IHSA guidelines). In the event that fall sports are not held, Glenbard will credit your account for the athletic fee, if your student only signed up for a fall sport this year. Yearbooks are available for purchase through the on-line registration & payment process. Students that sign up for the Behind the Wheel portion of Drivers Education will be charged $350. Parking passes are limited and the annual fee is $200.
Payment of Fees: It is the policy of the Glenbard Board of Education that prior to the first official day of class families should pay fees in full. Payments are due by July 30 for families to realize the prompt-pay discount of $35. The on-line registration process will guide you through the registration and payment process. Families that cannot pay in full due to financial circumstances should refer to the Financial Assistance Programs referenced below.
