We will maintain waiting lists for sites that are "full."

2024 Tax Statements
Tax Statements (often referred to as Student Payment Recaps) for January 2024 to December 2024 will be available at sites, upon request, starting Tuesday, January 21st.
We ask that parents request this information as needed because we have found that distributing tax forms before parents are ready for them significantly increases the chance of losing them. Lost forms may take 5-7 days to replace.
Parents may be asked to sign for statements for verification and accountability purposes.
Parents of students who are no longer enrolled in Frontiers can also get their tax statement from the Frontiers site(s) their child(ren) attended - during normal Frontiers site hours.
