Important Financial Information
If you enrolled in the fall and did not already pay your winter semester registration fee, $50 will be added to your account around January 18.
Keep in mind that ALL classes are listed and invoiced at the $175 per class fee.
All
Winter semester payments will be due on or before January 30, 2019 to receive the early pay discount
. IF you pay on or before January 30, 2019 for your Winter semester classes, then you are eligible to pay at the early pay discount rate which is $135 per class (a savings of $40/per class) - but, you must calculate that fee based on how many classes you are self-paying for. To figure this out, simply multiply the number of classes your child is taking this semester by $135 and then add on any lunch fees ($15/per semester) or Study Hall fees ($65/per hour). After payment is received, we will adjust your account, giving you the credit for the early pay discount.
If you are participating in the SOARCE program and meet their requirements for funding, those credits will be applied to your account in March.
After January 30, class fees are $175 per class and all invoices are due, paid in full, by March 31, 2019.
Thank you! If you have any questions, please email our accounting department at accounting@mihomeschoolconnections.com

This performance-based drama club will meet for two hours weekly. During that time, students will play exciting theater games, participate in engaging rehearsals, and build fun sets and costumes for a theater production.
At the end of the semester, the students will have the opportunity to perform a production for their friends and family at several local venues. No previous acting or performing experience is necessary, just come ready to have fun, work hard, and learn more about the art of theater!
This club is for middle and high school age students. This club will be hosted at our
Main Office
in Auburn Hills, NOT at the campus.
If you have any questions, please email Megan at
meganltimberlake@gmail.com.

Class space is limited! Six weeks, 12 hours to build more confidence and a better ACT score!

This ACT Prep Class is taught by Wendy Kapusta on Saturdays at our
Main Office
in Auburn Hills
starting on February 9th and running through March 23rd (no class on March 2).
The class fee is $135 if paid by January 30. After January 30, the fee is $175. The registration fee for new families is $50.
SOARCE funding
is possible for this class.

Every week, parents are responsible for making sure their children bring their own lunches. There are no microwaves or refriger
ators available. There is a snack shop at each campus (snacks and drinks cost a range of 25 cents to $1 each). Our campuses are not peanut-free.
About once a month, each campus will have a pizza day. Your child must place an order ahead of time. Pizza is $1 per slice. Options are pepperoni or cheese. An announcement will be made in this weekly newsletter (under your campus' section at the bottom) and a sign will be posted at your campus.
