20102010-2011 Registration Procedures Your payment of fees is the final confirmation of your student’s enrollment at East. We have several options for method and timing of payment. Remember that students may not report to class until fees and fines are paid.

Step 1: Fee Collection We have several options for the payment of fees. The mail-in deadline is Monday, July 26. The Internet online deadline is August 5. Walk-in payments are scheduled for August 2 (noon– 7:00pm), 3 (7:30am-2:30pm) and 5 (7:30-2:30) in the library.

All students should plan on visiting during our walk-in dates so that a student I.D. photo may be taken.

Option 1 Internet payment, via credit card, is available from July 6 through August 5. Go to www.smsd.org, click on Internet Fee Payment on the left-hand side. There is a $3.00 service charge for using the online payment system. (When paying online, please enter a quantity for yearbooks and directories.) Please print and retain your receipt in order to pick up IDs and parking permits.

Vehicles can be towed for any level of infraction described in this section.

Unsafe driving may include, but is not limited to: speeding, reckless driving, driving the wrong way, driving over grass, and exhibition of acceleration. Violators are subject to loss of parking privileges.

E. All regulatory signs are to be obeyed.
