Field Trip payments through FACTS!
Charges for field trips are being invoiced through your FACTS account. Those who initially signed up for Auto Pay must go back into your account to select Auto Pay for incidentals. You will receive an email from FACTS notifying you that payment will be made from your account on a specific date. Those of you not on Auto Pay will receive the same invoice prompting you to go into your account to authorize payment on or before the due date. Due dates will be set for 4 business days prior to the field trip. At the bottom of the email is an explanation of the charge, i.e. “Grade X Field Trip”. We very much prefer payment made through your FACTS account. The cost of each field trip will also be on the permission slip. Permission slips either paper or google form must be returned/submitted completed to the homeroom teachers.
