Matamoros - School Report Question and Answers
Aside from school fees, are there required expenses such as uniforms, laptops/tablets, musical instruments, or field trips that parents are expected to cover? What are the approximate costs?
Lunches cost US$4/day and you pretty much have to buy them since you can't take food across the border. Uniforms are expensive, but there is a trade each year and you can get free uniforms during that trade. The other hidden cost is that it's about US$7 roundtrip every time you cross the border. So, if you want to go over and take your child to activities after school, this really adds up! - Feb 2016
