[quote=Anonymous]There is a laptop fee annually for the school issued lap top preloaded with software and some arrangement where you can own it after several years if you want. If your child takes the school bus that is additional - amount depending on one way or round trip - You need to check with the school re cost.   Ther is a very small Parent Associatiom Fee.  Books are purchased, but their cost Varies by class as some classes can use more software /internet resources.  Depending on the sport, the school may provide the uniform free but you may have to purchase special shoes - that varies.  Field trips are covered by tuition generally, including occasional trips to things plays at  the Roindhouse Theatre or Arena Stage, and certain extracurricular trips that students must apply for with limited slots are also covered, while others still require a fee for a hotel room on a trip depending on specifics.  Families in financial aid generally get aid also for any extras - but I am not sure if that is a percentage based total of extras.  I will add that in our experience most schools charge for a lot of these extras but vary as to which are free and which are included.   At our progressive elementary, books were free but very few were ever used, there were fees to participate in after school sports and other activities (unlike at SAES) and there was no bus option.  So you need to look into details at all privates  if fees  will make or break the decision for you.   The largest fee by far is the bus if you want it (but depending on where you live, they can save a lot in gas even at low prices today and in travel time) [/quote]
