Participation Fees

There are two required fees for middle school athletics:

• Participation Fee - $90
• This district fee helps support athletic bussing and coaching stipends. The fee is required for the first two sports of the school year. After a student has paid the $90 fee twice, additional sports during that same school year are free.
• Activity Card Fee - $22.25
• An activity card is required for participation in athletics at any West Ada middle school. This is a one-time purchase per school year and supports the school’s athletic department.

Fees may be paid with cash or check at your child's homeschool, or online with a credit card through MySchoolFees.

For more information regarding parent meetings, practice schedules, and other sport specific details please visit your child's home school athletic website:

• Lake Hazel MS Athletics
• Lewis and Clark MS Athletics
• Meridian MS Athletics
• Victory MS Athletics

Crossroads Middle School is excited to announce a new partnership with the Treasure Valley Connections Counseling (TVCC). This partnership will allow students of families who are interested the option to access outside counseling services that can be delivered on our campus.

Participation in this service is completely optional and initiated by families.

Counseling through TVCC at Crossroads functions similarly to services offered in a traditional counseling setting:

• Appointments will be scheduled for students on Thursday mornings.
• There is a cost associated with the service.
• TVCC accepts a variety of insurance plans, including Medicaid.
• Students may discontinue services at any time.

For more information on TVCC please, click here.

Families who are interested in this on site option, have questions, or would like more information can contact our school counselor, RIkki Jensen at jensen.rikki@westada.org or 208-855-4278.
