2019-20 SEASON - PARENT ACTION ITEMS FOR HORIZON HUSKIES BASKETBALL

Welcome to the Huskies Basketball Program Congratulations on your son making the Horizon basketball team! This will be an exciting opportunity for him to not only improve his basketball skills, but to also develop a strong work ethic, sportsmanship, and time-management skills.

As a member of the Horizon Huskies Basketball team, he will be a part of a spirited, cohesive group where he can develop strong friendships and make memories that will last a lifetime. The Husky Hoops Booster Club is the parent support group for the Horizon Basketball program. We play a critical role in helping the coaches throughout the basketball season. This club is completely run by parent volunteers who are committed to helping our boys succeed both on and off the court. We assist the coaches in organizing the financial commitments, as well as the many activities that take place throughout the season, including the Horizon Invitational Tournament, end-of-season awards banquet, team bonding dinners and publication of the full-color commemorative Basketball Profile Guide. We also purchase equipment and Husky apparel for the players and all food and drink supplies to stock the snack bar for the home games and Horizon tournament. None of this would be possible without the hard work and dedication of all our parent volunteers. To simplify the process and make the season run as smoothly as possible, we have prepared this packet of “Parent Action Items” that requires your immediate attention. Please set aside at least one hour to complete the attached “Parent Checklist” before our mandatory Parent Meeting. This meeting will be held from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 22nd in the Horizon Cafeteria and will include a complimentary dinner of pizza and salad. Please read the packet thoroughly, complete the checklist, and bring all required paperwork and payments with you to the meeting. Both parents are invited to the meeting, but at least one parent is required to attend. If you have an urgent matter that prevents you from attending, please let us know by emailing us at [email protected]. If you are unable to attend, drop off all completed paperwork and payment at the Horizon front desk by 3 p.m. this Friday. Place paperwork and checks in an envelope and write Coach Lucas Ramirez’s name on the front of it. When you arrive at the meeting, check in at the Husky Hoops tables where you can turn in all your paperwork and payments, then you can do some early holiday shopping, enjoy your dinner and learn all about our fabulous Husky Hoops program. We will have a limited supply of Husky basketball logo T-shirts, polos, hoodies, baseball caps and car decals for sale at the meeting. Credit cards will be accepted only for apparel, but cash or check is strongly preferred. Please make all checks payable to “Husky Hoops Club.” If you have any questions, email us at [email protected]. Thanks in advance for your support and participation in the Husky Hoops Booster Club. We are excited about the upcoming season and look forward to seeing you at the Parent Meeting! Your Husky Hoops Club Board Members

P.S. This entire packet can be downloaded from HuskyHoopsClub.com under “B-board.”

ADDITIONAL WAYS TO SUPPORT THE HORIZON BASKETBALL PROGRAM #9

Make an AZ Tax Credit Donation to Horizon Boys Basketball – A Win-Win for All

You can receive a dollar-for-dollar tax credit through the AZ Public Schools tax credit for making contributions and paying extracurricular fees directly to an AZ public school. (The maximum credit allowed is $400 for married filing joint filers and $200 for single, heads of household and married filing separate filers.) If you have not already paid $400 in public school tax-credit eligible contributions and fees for the school year, please consider making a donation designated specifically for our Horizon Boys Basketball Program. Here’s an example: If you paid the $200 District Participation fee for your son’s basketball and a $25 fee for your daughter’s Debate Team, you may be eligible to make a Public School Tax Credit donation for the difference: $400 family max. minus $225 total fees = $175 donation to Horizon Basketball. This would give you a dollar for dollar $400 tax credit with no out-of-pocket cost. AZ Tax Credits give you a FULL refund of your money. To gain this tax benefit and support Horizon Basketball, please visit the Horizon Webstore and follow the instructions on the attached handout, “Reduce Your Tax Bill.” This year we purchased brand new NIKE uniforms that were paid for using the Public School Tax Credit donations that our parents made directly to our basketball program.

Checklist #3 Pay Your Player’s District “Participation Fee” (Must be paid before uniform is issued)

Option #1: Pay the Fee Online To make payments as easy and efficient as possible, the Horizon Bookstore highly recommends that you pay online with a credit card. Just follow these simple steps: Visit the Horizon Webstore at https://sites.google.com/a/pvlearners.net/horizon-bookstore/ Click on the “Webstore” link under staff.

• Use your player’s Username and Password to “log in” near the bottom of the page. • Username is your student’s ID number. Password is your child’s last name (First letter is capitalized;

all other letters are lowercase. e.g. Smith.). Note: if you changed the password and don’t remember it, go to the “Contact Us” page and email the Bookstore for help.

• Select “Items at Student’s School” under the “Shop” heading. o If you ARE paying with a tax credit, select PARTICIPATION FEE TAX CREDIT. When the

page opens, select “Participation fee Tax Credit Basketball” and click only one time on the “Buy” button. Confirm that the cart contents are correct, and then click “Checkout.”

o If you are NOT paying with a tax credit, select ATHLETIC PARTICIPATION FEE NON-TAX CREDIT. (Do NOT select “Tax Credit Donations – Athletics”) When the page opens, select “Participation Fee Non-Tax Credit Basketball,” and click only one time on the “Buy” button. Confirm that the cart contents are correct and click “Checkout.” What is a Tax Credit? Basketball activity fees can be paid with an Arizona State Tax Credit donation, which can be used toward certain extra-curricular school programs. If you pay using a Tax Credit, the FULL amount you pay will be subtracted from the Arizona taxes you owe for 2019. Unlike a tax deduction, a tax credit is a FULL refund of your money. This tax credit is available to all Arizona taxpayers; individual taxpayers can contribute up to $200 each year using a Tax Credit; married couples can contribute up to $400 per year.

• After you complete the above steps, confirm your purchase by clicking on “Checkout Step 1: Additional Info.” On the next screen, fill out your name in the donor box, your address and your player’s name in the “student on behalf of” box, then click on “Checkout Step 2: Payment.”

• Fill out all fields for credit card payment, including your billing address, then click on “Pay Now.” • Follow the prompts and be sure to include your email address, so that a receipt can be emailed to you –

usually within a few minutes of completing the above steps. • If you don’t receive an email receipt, check your spam/junk folder. If you can’t find it, go back to the

Horizon Webstore and log in again and click on “Reprint Receipts.” A list of your recent purchases will appear. Click the “View” link and print a copy of your Participation Fee receipt. Option #2: Pay the Participation Fee in Person at the Horizon Bookstore Visit the Horizon High School Bookstore during normal business hours to make your payment. (They accept cash, checks and credit cards). Please note: There is no guarantee that the bookstore will be able to process the payment while you or your student is waiting. If they are unable to process it when you drop off the payment, you may have to return later to receive the receipts for your payments. It is likely this may happen because the Bookstore is usually busy throughout the day. The Horizon Bookstore strongly recommends that you pay online using Option #1 instructions above.

Checklist #5 – Sign Up for Volunteer Slots The success of this program depends on EVERY player’s family volunteering their time. We need each player’s family to sign up for a minimum of 4 volunteers shifts. These shifts range in duration from one to two hours and can be completed either at the Snack Bar during a home game and/or during the Holiday Invitational Tournament on Dec. 19 - 21. We have 63 snack bar slots to fill and 90 slots to fill for the Horizon Invitational Tournament, so it’s critical that every family signs up. We use Sign Up Genius to organize all of our volunteer shifts. Use the links below to sign up. For your convenience, these links are also on the homepage of the www.Huskyhoopsclub.com website: Home Game Snack Bar Sign Up: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0D4BABAD2CA5FE3-2019

Volunteer Sign Up during Horizon Invitational Tournament (12/19 to 12/21): https://www.signupgenius.com/go/70A0848AAAC292-2019

Haven’t used Sign Up Genius before? Here’s how to register and volunteer:

• Go to one of the Sign Up Genius links listed above. • Register for an account using your email address. You won’t get any spam or marketing from Sign Up Genius. No

emails are shared. • Find an open slot that fits your schedule from the many options offered. You will see names already listed for those

slots that are already filled. See a friend’s name? Sign up with them! • Click the “Sign Up” button for all the slots you want. • Enter your user name and password to log in OR create an account by completing a few simple fields. • Click the “Sign Up” button and YOU’RE DONE!

Sign Up Genius has options for you to add the volunteer slot time to your electronic calendar and it will also automatically send you an email a few days in advance to remind you of all slots for which you signed up.

Sign-ups are on a first-come, first-served basis, so don’t delay in signing up!

Remember – your family should sign up for a total of 4 shifts between the two Sign Up Geniuses.

• Example #1: A husband and wife work two snack bar shifts together to complete all 4 of their family’s four volunteer slots. (Keep in mind that most parents like to volunteer when their son isn’t playing – for example, a freshman or varsity game, if their son plays on JV).

• Example #2: One family member sells tickets at a game at the Horizon Invitational Tournament while another family member keeps score to complete two of their family’s volunteer slots. The next day they both work a Holiday Invitational Snack Bar shift to complete the other two of their family’s four volunteer slots.

• Example #3: A player’s mom works a snack bar shift during three different season home games and also sells tickets at one Holiday Invitational game to complete all four required volunteer slots for her family.

The deadline to sign up for your FOUR slots is Sunday, Dec. 1st. If your family has not signed up for four slots by that time, we may assign slots to you from those that remain...so it’s in your best interest to sign up yourself for the ones that best fit your schedule and interest.

If you are unable to work the shift assigned to you, please refer to the team roster we will be providing and find someone to trade or work your shift for you.

Please note that no one under 16 is allowed to work or be in the snack bar, so if you have little ones, you’ll need to make arrangements for someone to watch them while you’re working your shift.

Checklist #9 - Reduce Your Tax Bill Make an AZ Tax Credit Donation to Huskies Basketball

Looking to pay less state tax? Make an AZ Public Schools Tax Credit donation that will go directly to the Horizon Boys Basketball Program. In return, you will receive a reduction in your tax bill while supporting the Horizon Huskies Basketball Program.

If you have not already paid the $400 maximum* in Public School Tax-Credit eligible contributions and fees for the school year, please consider making a donation designated specifically for our Horizon Boys Basketball Program.

Follow these easy steps to make your tax credit donation to the Horizon Basketball Program (takes less than 10 minutes):

1. Visit the Horizon Webstore at https://sites.google.com/a/pvlearners.net/horizon-bookstore/

2. Click on the “Webstore” link under staff. 3. Log in using your son’s User Name (his Student ID #) and password, which is his last

name (First letter is uppercase and all other letters are lowercase. e.g. Jones). 4. Choose your student’s name and select “Items at Student’s School” under the “Shop”

heading. 5. Select “Tax Credit Donations – Athletics” 6. Scroll down to Boys Basketball and type in the donation amount in the second white box

(the remaining amount you need to meet the $400 maximum. If you have paid only the $200 basketball participation fee towards the tax credit, then you have $200 remaining to donate to our basketball program.) Then click the “Buy” button.

7. Confirm that the contents are correct and click “Checkout.” 8. Click on the blue box “Checkout Step 1: Additional Info” and fill out the parent’s

name and address on the next screen. Then select “Checkout Step 2: Payment.” 9. Fill out all fields for credit card payment, including your billing address. Then select

“Pay Now.” 10. Print out a receipt and file the appropriate tax form to receive your tax credit. It’s a win-

win situation for you and the Husky Boys Basketball Program!

What is a tax credit? A dollar-for-dollar reduction in the actual tax you owe. For example, if you owe $800 in state income taxes and you donate $400 to a public school for extracurricular activities, you can subtract $400 from your tax bill and pay the state just $400.

*The maximum amount to donate for the AZ Public Schools tax credit is $400 if you are married filing jointly. If you are single or married but filing separate returns, each spouse can claim one-half of the credit that would have been allowed on a joint return.

Questions? Contact the Horizon Bookstore at 602-449-6000.
