Hunterdon Central strives to provide students with opportunities to become involved in a wide variety of extracurricular activities, clubs and organizations.
Due to budgetary constraints, certain extracurricular activities require a fee for participation; this fee helps to alleviate the costs associated with the activity. We are pleased that your child is planning to participate in an interscholastic sport and/or an extra-curricular activity. We hope that their participation will provide them with a very positive and rewarding experience. Please return one completed form and a single check for the entire family.
User Fee Policy and Procedure for 2012-13 School Year
All participants on athletic teams (all levels), cheerleading (all levels), pit, jazz and marching bands, madrigal and chorale, and all theatrical productions will be assessed an annual activity fee of $100. This fee will cover all sports and some extracurricular activities (listed below) for the entire school year for any high school student in grades 9 through 12. Students may participate in multiple athletic and extra-curricular activities offered. Parents with multiple children will pay a maximum of $200
annually regardless of the number of children attending Hunterdon Central.

The user fee is non-refundable. Any participant who leaves a club, activity or team voluntarily or who is dropped for disciplinary or scholastic deficiencies, is not eligible for a refund.
Students who are eligible for the Federal Free and Reduced Lunch Program are exempt from paying this fee. When returning this form please check the appropriate box below. The Board of Education understands that some families, due to financial hardship, may be unable to pay all or part of the extracurricular fee. It is the intent of the Board that no student is denied the right to participate due to the inability to pay. Should you need an exemption, please contact your building principal who will review your situation and make a determination. This matter will be held confidential.
Parents and students should understand that this fee allows students to participate. It does not guarantee participation time in games, leads in performances, etc., nor does it ensure specific positions on a team. Those decisions will remain with the coaches and advisors. Fees collected in this manner are designed to help partially defray the operational cost of offering the programs.
