Students participating in athletics, co-curricular activities, theater and music may not participate in practice, contests or even scrimmages until the activity fee is paid or arrangements for payment have been made. All school fees from previous years must be paid in full.

We accept cash, credit cards, checks or money orders payable to "Pickerington Local School District." Please note the student's name and activity on the payment. If paying by credit card or checking account, you may make payment through your Infinite Campus Parent Portal account. If a check is returned to insufficient funds, the student will not be allowed to participate in practices until the fees and a $25 returned check fee is paid in full by money order or cash.

Athletic fees may be refunded totally or partially due to circumstances as follows:

• 100% of the fee will be returned if the student has a season-ending injury or quits the team prior to the first regular season contest.
• 50% of the fee will be returned if the student misses one-half or more of the regular season contests as a result of a season-ending injury. Medical documentation must be submitted to apply for this refund. 
• There will be no refund for the loss of academic eligibility unless that loss was determined prior to the start of the season.
• There will be no refund if a student quits after the first contest or is removed from the team.
