STUDENT ACCOUNT  -  GENERAL INFO

What is a student account?

Students participating in Music Department/RMPA fundraising sales and events, earn credit for their sales/participation.  Amount earned is credited and held in their own student account.  Various fundraising sales and events are offered throughout the school year as an opportunity to help pay toward the cost of their trips and events held by the Music Department.  

How much can students earn?

Profits are shared  with a portion credited to the student’s account, and a portion to RMPA depending on the type of fundraising sale or fundraising event.  Allocation depends on the sale/event, but is usually based on a percentage of the net profit (60% student/40% RMPA; 40% student/60% RMPA; 100% student; hourly rate, or $ per fruit box sold & delivered)   For events (band contest, bands in round, silent auction, community day), if credit is offered, a  Student Sign Up Sheet for the specific event will indicate how credit will be earned or if by volunteer basis only.  Note:  RMPA’s portion of the profit is used to cover approved budgeted operating expenses including: uniforms; instruments; equipment; awards; contest costs; food & refreshments; and many more.  Participating in fundraising not only helps the student earn credit toward trips, but also helps to provide for the many needs and extras for the students.

Graduating and have a balance in your student account?

The amount earned by each student is credited and held in their own student account.  If any credit balance remains when a student graduates or leaves the music program, any credit remaining reverts back to RMPA.  A parent may request the remaining credit balance be transferred to another student of the same family (ie. brother, sister, step-brother, step-sister) currently in the program or one that will be coming in the following year.  Refer to Music Parents page as outlined in the constitution-bylaws.

What is the balance in my student account?

Students are assigned a number.  Below is summary of student credit balance.
