Good evening Silver Hawk families; this is Principal Carter Hillman with an update Memo concerning online payment for parking passes and off-campus lunch passes:

• Wake County is still working to merge its online payment system with Infinite Campus.  Unfortunately, until that merger is finalized, VMCCA cannot use the online payment system for collecting any funds.  Students who are interested in purchasing a parking pass ($200) or juniors and seniors who want to purchase an off-campus lunch pass ($5) will need to pay for each at the school.  We will notify you once this merger has been completed and the online payment option is available to use.  Please note that, along with payment for students to receive either a parking pass or an off-campus pass, students must have a notarized permission form completed.
• All students who are interested in purchasing a parking pass may purchase one in person. In addition to payment, students must have a notarized permission form completed to receive their parking pass. Cost is $200. 
• All Juniors and Seniors who are interested in purchasing an off-campus lunch pass may purchase one in person. In addition to payment, students must have a notarized permission form completed to receive their pass.
• Students can pick up both parking and off-campus lunch passes on Monday, August 4th, between 1:00 and 3:00 PM

Mensaje especial sobre el estacionamiento:

• Buenas noches, familias Silver Hawk. Les habla el director Carter Hillman con información actualizada sobre el pago en línea de pases de estacionamiento y pases de almuerzo fuera del campus:
  El Condado de Wake sigue trabajando para unir el sistema de pago en línea con Infinite Campus. Lamentablemente, hasta que se concrete dicha unión, VMCCA no podrá utilizar el sistema de pago en línea para recaudar fondos. Los estudiantes interesados en comprar un pase de estacionamiento ($200) o los juniors y seniors (los estudiantes de penúltimo y último año) que deseen comprar un pase de almuerzo fuera del campus ($5) deberán pagar cada uno en la escuela. Les notificaremos una vez que se complete esta unión y la opción de pago en línea esté disponible. Tengan en cuenta que, además del pago para recibir un pase de estacionamiento o un pase fuera del campus, deben completar un formulario de permiso notarizado.
• Todos los estudiantes interesados en comprar un pase de estacionamiento pueden adquirirlo en persona. Además del pago, deben completar un formulario de permiso notarizado para recibir su pase de estacionamiento. El costo es de $200. Todos los juniors y seniors (estudiantes de penúltimo y último año) que estén interesados en comprar un pase para comer fuera del campus pueden adquirirlo en persona. Además del pago, deben completar un formulario de permiso notariado para recibir su pase.
• Los estudiantes pueden recoger sus pases de estacionamiento y de almuerzo fuera del campus el lunes 4 de agosto, entre la 1:00 y las 3:00 de la tarde.
