2022 Colorado Peach Update
Greetings Peach Customers,
I am sending this message to make sure we have not left anyone off of our Peach Customer List. I have had three students helping me contact our Peach Customers and confirming orders. However, our records are not complete. Just for the record, if you ordered Peaches from the Smithville FFA Chapter last year, I placed an order for you this year. I have tried to get that message sent out on our School Website and our Smithville FFA Chapter social media outlets. However, I know we have not connected to everyone. So if you are reading this email, and myself or one of the Smithville FFA Members have confirmed your Peach Order for the 2022 year, then you can disregard this message. If you have not been contacted and still want your peaches, then I have your order on file, and you just need to wait for the Peaches to arrive. If you are not interested in getting peaches this year, I would ask that you send me a quick message, (viebrocj@smithville.k12.mo.us) and I will take your name off of our list for this year. This would be really helpful, so that I can get peaches to those folks who really want them. I am sorry this seems so confusing, our students are learning and so am I. :-)
Peaches are $40.00/ Case (There is $3.50 Fuel Surcharge per case) 18 lbs. / Case
Tentative Expected Arrival Date: Tuesday September 6th, 2022
Reminder-- Peaches are a "short" shelf life item. They will need to be picked up very quickly upon arrival.
Thank you again for your continued support and patience as we try to train a new group of students the finer points of customer service.
Best Agricultural Regards,
Johnny D. Viebrock

Underclass School Pictures for the 22-23 School Year - August 29, 2022
NCC and CAPS students need to arrive early that day to have their picture taken before they leave for their programs.
Online, work experience and A+ students will have their pictures taken when they arrive at the end of the block.
Ordering Information:
Parents/Students may send this printable order form (below) to school with payment on picture day OR visit our online link (online expires on September 5). The August 29th picture date is not for Senior Yearbook Portraits.
Online ordering does not allow single print purchase- an actual portrait package must be in your cart to allow the add-ons to be available. Also, traditional portrait gray is the only background option for online orders. If they are wanting a color background option, they must order at the RPG clerking desk on picture day. (Color backgrounds are applied as the picture is taken and cannot be added later).

Parking Pass Information for the 22-23 School Year
There are three steps in order to receive your parking pass for this school year. It looks slightly different than last year.
1st- Fill out the parking permit form. This form must be filled out in its entirety. You will find the form located in the back to school registration "forms" tab located in your parents PowerSchool portal. On this form it will ask you to upload a picture of your valid driver's license. This step must be completed in order for your form to be approved.
2nd- All fees from previous years must be paid. You may use our online payment system to pay previous school fees. https://smithville.revtrak.net/Student-Meal-Payments/
3rd - Pay for a parking pass. The cost is $40.00 for the school year. https://smithville.revtrak.net/Student-Meal-Payments/
All three items must be completed before you will receive a parking pass. Please take a few minutes and double check that all of these items have been completed. Many students have done 1 or 2 items but not all three. Parking passes will start to be distributed within the first two weeks of school. Parking will be "Open" parking again, First Come First Served, and the stadium parking lot will be open this year to park in during the school day as well as after school as in the past.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you
