The high school student activity pass is $65 and allows free admission to any regular season Jeffco athletics contest. Students without the activity pass will be charged the general admission price. The activity pass cannot be used for admission to dances, plays, concerts, tournaments and postseason events. The pass can save families money if their student regularly attends football, volleyball, gymnastics, soccer, basketball, hockey, wrestling and lacrosse contests.
Students can pay for an activity pass in Infinite Campus in the student fee payment section. They can also pay in person through their school’s financial secretary. Once purchased, the pass is added to the student ID issued at the beginning of the school year.
