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.

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
