Enrollment fees include curriculum and technology for grades K-12. The program support fee is for grades 6-12. A fee reduction (50 percent) or full waiver system has been established based on family income guidelines. Families can fill out the free/reduced meal application (available after July 1) during enrollment to apply for the waiving of these fees. The waiver system will also be honored for qualifying transfer students.

Students who have paid full enrollment fees and then withdraw completely from Derby Public Schools anytime during the first semester will, upon request, have one half of the amount paid for the fee refunded. Mid-year graduates will receive a refund at 50 percent of fees paid. There will be no refund of these fees for students who withdraw after the beginning of the second semester.

The curriculum fee does not cover the cost of any book or property checked out to a student and subsequently reported as lost/damaged. The costs of lost/damaged materials will be determined at the time the report is made. Students enrolled in concurrent enrollment and receiving dual credit are considered a full-time student at Derby High School and will be charged the applicable fees as such.
