How Do I Use Funds for a Field Trip?:
- Email your student's band teacher to confirm the total available in your student's ledger account.
- Let the band teacher know the ledger amount to apply to the field trip fee.
- Pay the field trip fee posted in Infinite Campus
- The band teacher will confirm payment through Infinite Campus and request a reimbursement check from the Band Booster Treasure. The check will be mailed to families.
When Are Funds Available?:
- Fundraising monies are available in Charms as soon as possible, but we do have to wait until we receive payments from our vendors or parents depending on the fundraiser. Some of our fundraisers involve hundreds of checks, so please allow a few days or sometimes up to a couple of weeks for processing. Please remember that all of our chairpersons and board members are volunteers, most with full-time jobs.
- Please be patient as some of these fundraisers involve several steps with several parent volunteers involved, but if you have any questions about a particular fundraiser, please feel free to contact the Band Booster Ledger Keeper at ledger@spbb.org. He or she will do his or her best to either answer your questions or put you in contact with someone who can. ☺
