1st Semester Instrument Loan Fee & Contract

In order for our school district to provide and maintain instruments for students, Clear Creek ISD assesses a  fee of $50 per semester ($100 for the entire school year) to students who use a school owned instrument.  This fee, while not small, is substantially less than what it would be to rent an instrument from a music store.

The 1st Semester Clear Creek ISD Musical Instrument Loan Contract and fee were originally due Oct. 1st; However, we have pushed that date back to Friday, October 16th.  We will finish distributing The Clear Creek ISD Musical Instrument Loan Contracts to the students who are using school owned instruments by Thursday, October 8th.  Please sign the Instrument Loan Contract and submit BOTH the contract and the payment for either just the 1st semester or for both the 1st and 2nd semesters if you would like to take care of the 2nd semester at this time.  Please make Checks payable to “CCISD-MEF”.  DO NOT make checks payable to Clear Springs High School, to the band, to the booster club, or anything else.  ONLY MAKE CHECKS PAYABLE TO “CCISD-MEF”.  Also, DO NOT combine this payment with any other payments.

Please submit the 1st semester payment and contract by Friday, October 16th.  Payments not made by that date will be added to the Clear Springs fine and fee list.

Important Notes:

• If a student uses more than one school owned instrument, only one contract and one payment needs to be submitted.
• As this is a CCISD fee and not a Clear Springs Band fee, this fee will not show up in the financial section of CHARMS and cannot be paid with a credit card through CHARMS.  This also will not show up in LinkED unless it is not paid by the due date and we have to add it to the Clear Springs fine and fee list.
• You can track whether or not the contract and payment has been turned in by logging into CHARMS and then clicking on the “Forms Collected” icon.
• Percussion have to pay this fee as they use school owned instruments and may check out instruments to take home for practice.

If the contract that is given to the students is lost you will need to print a new one from CHARMS using the directions below:

1. Login to CHARMS
2. Click the “Inventory Uniforms” icon
3. You should see a list of items checked out to the students, click the button labeled “F” to the right of an instrument (not a lock or locker)
