[quote=Anonymous]According to the school (Wow! I asked a direct question and got a direct answer---clearly a novel idea for some DCUM posters) about 2/3 of the parent body pays the supply fee each year. The school sends out 2 reminders: one general, one privately to non-paying families, and then drops it as a lost cause. No hounding as in many other schools, no publicizing on school web sites by class as in many other schools, no talking directly to kids or parents about it. Low-income parents who contact the school and say that it's too much are offered a suggested reduced rate, a pay-by the month plan, or are told not to worry about it. Proactiveness on the part of the parent(s) means a lot. [/quote]
