Personal Display of Affection Ads in Yearbook
8th Grade Parents,
Your student(s) are a fourth of the way through their last year here at the middle school. Help them remember the crazy, fun times of being an 8th grader by purchasing a yearbook.
Yearbooks are $20.You can purchase online or send in cash/check to the main office.
The Yearbook committee has a tradition of offering families a way to write a special message to surprise their student(s). This message is a fun, proud display of affection to where you can add a photo(s) along with your message. More information is on the attached flyer: PDA Form 2022-2023.pdf Fill out the attached form or email your pictures and message to Erin Dach or Aimee Dwyer (dache@fortschools.org or dwyera@fortschools.org)
PDAs need to be turned in before January 6th, 2023.
Thank you,
Aimee Dwyer and Erin Dach

School Pictures
View your School Portraits, and select your yearbook/class picture before Retake Day!
To view your school portraits look for an email sent to you by “Visual Image Photography”, or go to vipis.com
Retake pictures will be taken on Friday, October 21st. This is only for students who have not yet taken a Yearbook Portrait this year or students who have reported a need for a new picture
Retake photos will be added to your online image gallery and you’ll receive an email alert about a week after photo day
The final deadline to select an image is about two weeks after photo day, after which VIP will choose a yearbook image for you. (Seniors, refer to separate deadlines about yearbook picture submissions)
