8 P A G E 8 Announcements Class of 2018 Dues and Prom Tickets If your student attended IHS during their 9-11 grade years, you may have paid Class of 2018 Dues. If so, the dues that you paid go towards your student s prom ticket. Our Student Council is selling tickets on B Days in the café during lunches and they have a list of who has paid dues and in what amounts. You may also our finance secretary, Vickie Rupprecht, at rupprecv@friscoisd.org if you would like to inquire about Class Dues. If you paid Class Dues, and your child does not pick up their ticket, you will be given the opportunity to request a refund of those funds after Prom has occurred. The refund process will be advertised in the newsletter as well as ed out to every senior parent and student. Please note, this is NOT the same thing as the Senior Fees that were collected this year by the Senior Parent Booster Club. Those fees were paid for senior activities, which included the Bon Fire, 5 th Quarter, Power Puff Game, and Six Flags trip.
