Call 1-800-JOSTENS and order by phone - credit card
Fill out the order form (your senior was given this), with credit card information included, and mail to

Mrs. France can place the order at school. Just have your senior find me…. THIS IS FOR CAP AND GOWN ONLY, NOT THE OTHER SUPPLIES.
Other senior supplies are optional - clothing, jewelry, announcements, thank you notes, etc… and are also able to be purchased through Jostens.
Seniors are strongly encouraged to place orders before December 31, 2023. Prices will increase in 2024!!
Please contact Mrs. France (france.bernadette@ccpsstaff.org) with any questions regarding ordering senior supplies or graduation.
Hearing & Vision Screenings
Healthy vision and hearing is important for your child’s success in school. State law requires school systems to have students’ hearing and vision screened when they enter the school system for the first time. Hearing and vision screenings are scheduled to begin on 1/8/24.
Students who should not be included in the screenings include:
Those whose parents/guardians object in writing to the screenings on the grounds that it conflicts with the tenets and practice of a recognized church or religious denomination of which they are a member;
Those with known hearing loss, including but not limited to, students with cochlear implants or hearing aids; and
Those who present evidence of testing within the last year.
If your child falls into any of these categories or if you have any questions, please reach out to the school nurse directly at 410-479-3612 or via email at hoffman.cynthia@ccpsstaff.org
