Late payment issues

[Rachael]

I don't take cheque now but when I first opened I did.

I would require 3 - 6 months in advance, all post dated. Once I got down to just having one or two remaining, I'd request the next batch by e-mail, reminding the parent of the date needed on the first one of the new batch.

Maybe that would be worth thinking about vs having to ask on a monthly basis?

Hi <parent name>, just letting you know that once I deposit today's fees, I only have one cheque remaining for <child's name>. Can you please let me have the next batch of cheques sometime this week please.

The only I have left is dated <date of remaining cheque> so the first one from the new batch needs to be dated <next pay date> and will cover fees from <next pay date> to <final day in pay period>.

Thanks
Rachael
