The 2019-2020 South Park Yearbook is now available for purchase!

All classrooms Pre-K through Fifth Grade are included. The price is $20 for 1; $36 for 2 and $55 for 3 - - with proceeds benefiting the PTO to give back to our school - - and will be delivered to your child in his/her classroom the last week of school.

For those who may not be familiar with the South Park Yearbook, typically teachers set time for all kids to sign each other’s yearbooks on the last day of school. Deadline to order is Friday, March 20 so our publishing company has accurate time to publish and produce our school’s yearbooks. There will NOT be any yearbooks to purchase after this date so if you would like to order, please don’t delay. Click here for the link to order yearbooks

Also, please continue to upload photos from the school year! Click here for instructions on how to email and upload from school-sponsored events so we can include all South Park students in our yearbook.

Thank you!
