A Message from the Business Office
Dear Families:

With the governor’s recent extension of the Safer at Home order implemented to reduce the spread of COVID-19, face to face teaching and learning will not occur during our third trimester. Given the circumstances, we have pivoted our programs and practices to provide distance learning opportunities.

The current order stipulates that school buildings and associated grounds, including outdoor spaces, are closed to program participants for instructional, enrichment, co-curricular, and recreational activities through June 30, 2020.

As a result of these closures and cancellations, there are several school-related fees that will be credited to families. Refunds will be issued when applicable. If a refund is issued, it will be issued to the primary parent listed in Infinite Campus. Refunds will be issued via check on May 15, 2020.

Please also see the information below regarding Recreation Department program cancellations and refund procedures.

If you have questions regarding your circumstances, please contact Business Assistant Cindy Leinfelder at cleinfelder@mtsd.k12.wi.us .

Sincerely,

Sarah Viera
Executive Director of Business Services

M-T Recreation Department & Summer Academy
In keeping with the current Safer at Home order, the Recreation Department will cancel all programs that were scheduled to begin anytime in June. That means that:

  • Classes and programs scheduled to begin in June will not resume or be rescheduled.
  • Session 1 of Summer Academy is also canceled. We are exploring options for the remainder of the summer.
  • If you registered for a program that was scheduled to begin in June, your program fees will be refunded via the method by which payment was made. Refunds will take a few weeks to process—we thank you for your patience.

As we look to July and beyond, we hope to be able to reconvene our scheduled summer programs. At this time, we anticipate being able to move forward with summer programs that have an initial start date of July 1 or later. However, as you know, the situation is fluid. We will adhere to all guidance from our state and local health departments. Should any additional programs be canceled due to updated order or guidance, all program fees will be refunded via the method by which payment was made. 

Thank you in advance for your patience and understanding as we work through these unprecedented times. Email Recreation Department Director Mike Schoemer at mschoemer@mtsd.k12.wi.us if you have any questions. 
I would be interested in virtual Summer Academy course options.

Food Service Accounts
Lunch Accounts
All funds in lunch accounts will roll forward to the 2020-21 school year. If a student is graduating and has younger siblings within the district, lunch funds will be transferred to a sibling’s account available for other family members to use. If no siblings remain in the district, a refund will be issued to the primary parent listed in Infinite Campus.

Refunds will be credited to students' lunch accounts.

Elementary School Families
Field Trips
Families paid a flat amount at the beginning of the school year to pay for the cost of field trips. We have calculated the unused portion of this academic year’s field trips and will credit based on grade level: 

  • Grades 4K-4: The unused portion of field trip fees will be applied to each student’s 2020-21 academic year field trip fee. 

  • Grade 5: The unused portions of the field trip fee will be credited to the student’s lunch account. 

High School Families
Parking
The annual parking fee is being prorated into three trimesters, or $100 per trimester. 

  • Grade 12: The parking fee for trimester 3 will be applied to a younger sibling’s resource fee. If there is no younger sibling, a refund will be issued to the primary parent listed in Infinite Campus. 

  • Grades 10 & 11: The parking fee for trimester 3 will be applied to the 2020-21 parking fee. 
Spring Athletic Fees
  • Grade 12: Athletic fees will be refunded through RSchool. 

  • Grades 9-11: The payment for spring sports will be applied to 2020-21 athletic fees.
Lifetime Sports, Wellness & Outdoor Adventures Course Fees
  • Grade 12: Fees will be applied to the 2020-21 academic year resource fees for any younger siblings. If there is no younger sibling, a refund will be issued to the primary parent listed in Infinite Campus.
