How to rent a school-owned instrument

Please review the following steps to rent a school-owned instrument:

Step 1: Speak with your child's music teacher to make sure an instrument is available for you to rent. You should not pay for a school rental until you have been notified a school-owned instrument is available for you.

Step 2: Once you know an instrument is available to you, please pay here: https://www.schoolpay.com/login

Step 3: Please show your schoolpay receipt to your child's music teacher. They will generate a contract for you to sign and return (via hard copy or email). All rentals should be finalized prior to the first Friday in the month of October.

Step 4: You will receive an instrument soon after.

Summer Rentals: Please note that if your child is transitioning from an Intermediate School to Middle School, or from Middle School to High School, the instrument you will rent will come from the building you will be entering. Please reach contact our lead teachers to arrange the pickup and signing of a summer instrument rental contract:
