YEARBOOK NEWS!
On January 28 during the last few minutes of block 1, the Yearbook staff will collect students' portraits. This year we're asking students to take the photo themselves, or have a family member take it, using their device (phone, iPad, or laptop). iPad users will need to use Safari as the browser. Students need to be school-portrait-ready on January 28. On that morning, the Yearbook staff will send out the link that students will use to take their portrait. Students will need to log in using their Student ID number. This can be located on Skyward. The Yearbook staff will reject photos that are not appropriate. This does not apply to students who have already emailed or uploaded a portrait for use in the yearbook. Students who enrolled at BMHS later than November 5 will not be able to log in. They can send a photo to bfink@sdb.k12.wi.us.
