Senior Dues and Events
Dear Students, Parents and Guardians of the CLASS of 2024,
Congratulations on making it to senior year! This will be a busy year, but we have many exciting and fun events planned as well. Your parent class representatives are Kim Martin-Shah and Mel Weidner. You may also contact me at [email protected] with any questions.
I know families are eager to learn about the costs associated with senior year. We will start collections on October 31st. There are three major items:
- senior dues $350 (mandatory)
- senior trip $430 (optional)
- prom $30 (optional). The prom is $133 but the PTA is underwriting the bulk of the cost so that more seniors can attend.
If your child participates in all senior activities, the total cost will be $913. You can make payments monthly (webstore) or all at once (cashier’s check or bank check). Please note that we cannot accept personal checks.
Reminders for payment deadlines will be emailed through Google Classroom.
Extremely limited financial aid will be made available in the FALL ONLY for MANDATORY DUES ONLY based on school lunch applications and available funds. We certainly welcome and greatly appreciate any donations families might be able to make to help other students facing financial hardships. All payments and donations can be made online at the HSMSE Webstore. Please go to the school website and click on the link at the top of the page for the School Store. Once you’re in the School Store, there is a tab on the left side of the page for “Seniors Only”.
Please also be advised that all senior activities are a privilege, including the senior trip and prom, and can be revoked at any time if students fail to meet the NYC DOE attendance requirement, violate our drug and alcohol policy, or fail multiple classes and/or any class required for graduation.
If you have any questions, please contact me by email or at the number listed below.
Thank you for your continued support.
Sincerely,
Dinorah Hudson,
Coordinator of Senior Activities
