Everything You Need To Know About IB Student Accounts

The purpose of IB Student Accounts is to give IB parents the opportunity to fund those IB expenses not paid for by Poudre School District. Since the IB Diploma Program is not a graduation requirement in PSD, expenses incurred as part of IB are the responsibility of the student. These expenses include:

· IB Books required for Summer Reading

· Vocabulary & Literature books for IB Classes

· IB Testing fees (junior and senior years)

· School of Choice Transportation fee

· When your student’s account has sufficient funds to be reimbursed, bring in the original receipt for any IB expense to the IB office/Debbie Hover in order to be reimbursed.

How to participate:

Fill out an Individual Account Form & give it to Debbie Hover in the IB office.

· Write the Order Due/Delivery dates on your calendar/PDA.

• Fill out the order form & instruct your student to place it in the IB office lock box with a check made out to PHSIB, before each deadline date.
• Your order will be delivered to your student’s 7^th period class on the following Tuesday. If they do not have a 7^th period class, orders need to be picked up in the IB office.

Participating Stores:

· King Soopers $25, $50, and $100 gift cards (can be used nationwide & for gasoline purchases)

· Safeway $50 gift cards (can be used nationwide, in Canada, & for gasoline purchases)

· Sunflower Market $10, $25, and $50 gift cards

• Each store contributes 5% of the aggregate order to IB. Your student is credited with 90% of that & the other 10% goes into an IB Student Activities Fund for various IB expenses, including IB student scholarships.

How Do I Pick Up My Order?

Your student will sign for the certificates on the delivery date in their 7^th period class. Students who do not have a 7^th period class, or who will be absent for athletics will need to pick up their order in the IB office after 1:45PM on the delivery date or during office hours after the delivery date. If your order is large and you would like to pick it up in the IB office yourself, please make that request on your order form.
