RMS Music Fundraiser Policy
It is highly encouraged that all Band and Choir students participate in Rutland Middle School Music fundraisers from the very start of their time in the music program. Money earned through student fundraisers will be tracked in individual accounts to be applied directly to your student's senior trip costs, music hoodie costs, or other various payments surrounding music program activities.
Students and parents/guardians who are in a difficult financial situation are asked to notify the Band Director and/or Principal to make arrangements for financial need. Each situation is handled individually and discreetly.
Families in need could be eligible for financial support on the basis that they have participated in the fundraising opportunities offered by the Music Program.
*Any extra funds left in accounts at the end of your time at RMS will go back to the general music program. Funds can be transferred to a younger sibling upon request of older sibling's middle school graduation. Fundraising funds cannot be transferred to another school as per school policy, money fundraised at a school must stay at that school.
