Paying for Middle School Spring Student Fees

~ Community Building

Middle School spring student fees can now be paid through Schoolpay or by check delivered to the school. Details for Elementary School Spring fees will follow after mid-winter break.

Payment links for Middle school can be found here:

Middle School Activity Fees

Salmon Bay’s staff, administration, and volunteers work together to offer many opportunities throughout the year for learning outside the school building. These enriching opportunities cost more than the funding provided by the district. Families are asked to contribute per student.

This school year student fees will be collected twice. The Fall Payment includes fees for school supplies, enrichment, full camp payments for 5th and 6th graders, camp deposits for all other grades except kindergarten. Spring Payment includes fees for Middle School Spring Enrichment Program (SEP) and camp payments for all grades other than 5th and 6th.

Scholarship Support

Partial or full scholarships are requested by emailing the school social worker Allie Ash (aeash@seattleschools.org) or the middle school counselor Rob Bright (rabright@seattleschools.org). If you wish to continue scholarship support from the fall, please notify Lara Cowles at lacowles@seattleschools.org

~ Stephanie Van Dyk

FOSB’s Buy-In fundraising parties are underway and we’d like to see you there! Check out these options and more:

  • Women’s Dance Party this Friday, Jan 9
  • An Introvert Puzzle Party on Jan 25
  • (More seats added!) Murder Mystery Party on Feb 7!

These fun and impactful fundraising mini-events are hosted by community members – with the ‘winter’ set alone creating touchpoints for more than 130 people. Parties are donated by the host so the full admission cost goes directly to supporting FOSB and Salmon Bay – more than $3500 has been raised so far!

The ‘spring’ set is being worked on now, so keep checking back for more as they are finalized. Or host one of your own – reach out to Abby, Julie, and Katie – FOSBparties@gmail.com – with your questions or ideas!
