Fee schedules are established by principals, in consultation with staff, student and parent groups, and provided to the Superintendent for review. As per Board Policy 706, the Superintendent of Schools reviews annually the schedule of student fees for all schools, and provides this schedule to Trustees for their information. Seycove's fee schedule was reviewed by the Board in December 2017.
Students are assessed supplimental course fees which are available to view and pay via School Cash Online October 1 for the current year. A refund will be issued when a student withdraws from Seycove, provided all withdrawal procedures are completed and all books/materials are returned. A refund of fees paid will be prorated up until the end of January. After that time, there will be no refund of supplemental fees. If a refund is due to a student whose sibling has outstanding fees, the refund will first be applied to the sibling's outstanding fees. Fees will be prorated upon late admission. Note: $25.00 will be charged for NSF cheques.

Supplemental Fees (by course)
In accordance with the School Act, all students at Seycove receive free of charge an educational program sufficient to meet the general requirements for graduation. Supplemental fees may be charged, however, for goods and services associated with optional enrichment activities and take home items that extend learning outcomes for students beyond the basic educational program. Supplemental fees are published in the Course Programming Guide available on the website at www.seycove.ca.
Workbooks (by course)
Where students are required to use workbooks in order to meet the course/subject learning outcomes and/or for assessment, workbooks will be provided free of charge. Students may have the opportunity to purchase workbooks that are suggested for optional, supplemental "practice" and are not marked as part of the students' assessments. Purchase of these workbooks is completely optional as they are not required for successful completion of the courses' learning outcomes. These workbooks are available for purchase at cost from the school.
Textbook Policy
Students are assigned textbooks by the subject teacher. There is no rental fee charged; however, a student who loses or damages a textbook will be assessed a replacement or damage fee. Students must return the textbook assigned to them. Textbooks are numbered. At distribution time, teachers record the number and students acknowledge by signing upon receipt. Refunds will be issued only if lost textbooks are found and returned by the end of the first week of July.
Fee Waiver
Should you wish to complete an Application for Waiver of School Fee form, they are available in the main office.
