WORK DAY POLICY

In an effort to keep our school's physical plant in top condition the Board of Directors has authorized the Buildings and Grounds Committee to adopt a Work Day Policy. During each semester we have two scheduled workdays and several other unscheduled opportunities for you to help in this effort. In the case of dire need, additional work days may be required.

In your tuition and fee schedule you will see a buildings and grounds fee of $200.00 per semester. The good news is if you choose to participate in our workdays you can avoid having to pay this fee. Our goal is not to collect $400.00 per family per year, but to ensure the fair distribution of the work required among all member families. This is also an excellent opportunity to get to know other members and faculty.

The $200.00 fee can be satisfied by your family contributing a minimum of four hours of approved Buildings and Grounds work each semester. This can be one person working four hours, or two people working two hours each, etc., but the worker(s) must be an adult or high school student (grades 9 - 12 only). Each semester stands alone; therefore, you must work a minimum of four hours each semester. When you work four hours you have satisfied your time and will not be billed the $200.00. Scheduled workdays are announced in the Newsletter. If you are unable to make one of those days, a list of needs is kept in the office.

The choice is yours: no one has to pay the $200.00 fee unless you choose not to participate! We all want our school facilities to be the best they can be for our children and this is your chance to help. However, if you elect not to participate; you can pay the $200.00 each semester in lieu of the work.

RAFFLE TICKETS
Every member family of Escambia Academy is required to purchase or sell 30 $10.00 raffle tickets each year. The tickets will be billed to you at $100.00 per month for the months of July, August, and September. You may pay for the tickets with your check along with your tuition or you may turn in checks made out to Escambia Academy from individuals to whom you have sold tickets as long as the amount turned in each of the three months is equal to at least the $100.00 billed.

There will be five drawings over the course of the school year. Each drawing will be for a winner of $1000.00. The first drawing will be held at the homecoming football game, the second drawing will be the last home football game, and the last three drawings will be held before the end of school. One does not have to be present to win.

The proceeds of the raffle sale are for capital improvements to our school. Presently, the proceeds of the next several year' raffles will be to make annual payments on the remaining debt associated with our new Middle School/Administration building. Over one half of the cost of that building was raised from donations outside of the school and the remainder was financed.

Please be understanding of the necessity of this fund raiser. Few people really enjoy selling tickets we realize, but this project at least gives families the option of just purchasing the tickets themselves or of raising the money by selling tickets. The proceeds of the raffle are absolutely essential in order for the school to meet its obligations.

Thank you again for your cooperation.

MAGAZINE SALES
Each student in grades K5 - 12th grade is required to sell a certain quota of magazines each year in the fall. If the set quota is not sold, an $8.00 donation for each magazine not sold will satisfy this requirement.

The quota for grades K5 - 10 is 10. The quota for grades 11 and 12 are set annually.
