DPISD students in grades 7-12 participating in baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, soccer, softball, swimming & diving, tennis, track & field, volleyball, or water polo must pay a $50 extracurricular Athletic Participation Fee.  The athletic fee will be assessed once per school year regardless of the number of sports in which the student participates.  Athletes unable to pay the fee may request a waiver using this form.

• FEE PAYMENT:  Credit card payments are recommended using the My School Bucks account associated with each student.  No checks are accepted.  If unable to use My School Bucks, athletic fee payments can be made by submitting payment along with the Athletic Participation Fee Payment Form in person at the following locations:
