Message from Mr. McDermott
Wildcats,
Another school-year is winding down. We are busy getting students to complete their state and district exams. If you receive a call, please ensure your student makes it to testing. Also, Extended School Year (Summer School) letters were mailed home for students who may need to recover credits. If your student needs to recover credit, please plan on them attending. If you have not received a letter, please reach out to the counselor for information.
Thank you,
Mr. McDermott

YEARBOOK INFO
We have officially sold out of the 2022-2023 yearbook. We do not have any copies left.
On Thursday afternoon, I contacted my representative at Walsworth for a quote for a possible reorder. We would need to order a minimum of 50 books, but because we usually order in bulk, the overall fees (set up, cover design, end pages, laser cutting the cover, etc.) are spread out over 450 books, helping to keep the yearbook cost down. I received the quote this morning. With an order of only 50 books, the production cost increases drastically. The reorder quote is $13, 350, which breaks down to approximately $267 per book. Unfortunately, it will be extremely hard to convince at least 50 people to pay $267 for a yearbook, and after talking with the administration team, we have decided not to pursue it.
If you have any further questions, please reach out to me, Mr. McDermott or Mrs. Waselewski.
