Athletic Activity Fees
Currently the PTA funds a portion of the annual expenses incurred by the Sutton Athletic Department, in addition to monies budgeted by APS. However, the cost to successfully compete, provide coaching stipends, provide transportation to and from events, upgrade uniforms and equipment, scoreboard operators, field and facility maintenance, snacks and refreshments, after school supervision, and more generally exceeds the funds available through APS and the PTA.To offset those costs, we ask parents of participating athletes to pay an Athletic Activity Fee for each sport that will supplement the funds received by APS. The fees vary per sport based on need and cost per student to operate successfully. After a roster is selected, the coach or team manager will notify parents and collect the appropriate team fees.
