Attention K-12 Families,
Your EFA accounts have been funded for Quarter 3! I have completed the tuition payment requests. If you see an error of any kind, please don't hesitate to reach out to me at vpeglar@mhcaeagles.org. If you were part of the EFA program last year and you received a 2nd invoice for the parent portion but you don't have leftover funds to pay for that, just reject that particular invoice. Remember, if you are paying the parent portion with rolled-over EFA funds, you should have 2 tuition payment requests.
If you need a little brush up on how to approve the request, here's a short tutorial that will walk you through the process. https://aptg.co/GZxgxc
*Keep in mind, the quicker you approve the requests, the faster Mrs. Forrest can apply it to your account. She cannot apply the payment until the school has recieved the funds which could take anywhere from 2-10 days.
Here's what's happening this school week:
Monday, Feb. 2: Love in Action food drive continues through Feb. 12th. Bring in those canned goods and non-perishable foods.
