New Option for Your Raskob Parent Association Dues--You can now pay for your membership dues via credit card.
Remember all Raskob parents and guardians are automatic members of the RPA, it's the membership dues that are voluntary. The collection of dues is an important fundraiser for the RPA which is why the RPA Board has set a 100% participation goal for the collection of dues this school year. The suggested donation amount is $50, however, you can choose the amount that is right for your family.
Once you fill out the form(s) please turn it into Marlen Valle in the front office.
