2022-2023 Yearbook Orders are OPEN! Don't Miss Out!

We are creating so many memories this school year and if you may want to have a permanent copy of our year! If so, please visit inter-state.com/order and enter code 74535Z to get to the order form. The deadline to order is Friday, March 10th. Doing so guarantees that your child will have a yearbook on yearbook signing day the last week of the school year. We do generally get a few extra copies to sell in May, but there is no guarantee that we'll have enough available. Yearbook orders are definitely optional, but if you want to opt in, the time to do it is before March 10th!
