2020-2021 YEARBOOKS ON SALE!!!!!
Our 2020-21 Yearbooks are on sale! The book costs $20. Grade 8 students do NOT have to order a yearbook. Our generous PTO will be buying a book for each grade 8 student this year! Thank you very much PTO. Forms can be return during HR or dropped off/mailed to the school. The deadline is Friday, March 26.
Please note, with a fast approaching deadline to complete our yearbook, we will only be able to include pictures of students in grades 5-7 who had pictures taken during school photos. In a separate email, we will be sending a Google Form to families of grade 8 students who did not have their picture taken during school photos and wish to upload a picture (head shot- like a school photo) for us to include in the yearbook. This decision was made as the yearbook is aimed at being focused on our grade 8 students.
