YEARBOOK UPDATES!
Wondering if the yearbook is happening this year? 👉 Yes
ALL THE THINGS. ALL IN THIS BOOK.
This school year will be talked about forever. Our yearbook program is working hard to put together a historic book that will be looked back upon to remember one of the most unpredictable school years of all time.
Order today so we make sure there are enough copies for everyone - www.jostensyearbooks.com.
This year’s book will be delivered in August instead of in June. This will allow more time for the yearbook to be made.
If you would still like to submit a photo of your child for the yearbook, you can attach one to this link: https://forms.gle/sMPqzZ7dSMcAGXGL8
LAST CALL FOR RECEIPTS!!!
We are at the end of our school year, and the end of the Hy-Vee Receipts program. Simply by turning in your receipts to the office, by May 28th, we can enter them to Hy-Vee for a donation! Please consider sending your student to school with Hy-Vee Receipts for the office!
TECH REMINDERS!
- Students do need their iPad fully charged each day at school
- Students also need earbuds/headphones each day at school
We have recently noticed a trend where iPads are not charged, or students are not bringing earbuds/headphones. Please make certain your students have these items daily. If you need help with making this happen, please reach out to the Friedell office for support!

REMINDERS FOR STUDENT HEALTH AND SAFETY
When I have a sick child:
- If your child has any of the symptoms listed on the COVID screening tool, s/he should be staying home from school.
- If you have multiple children, and one is staying home because they are ill, all children in your family are to be kept home.
- Please inform the school of any symptoms your child is experiencing.
- If you have questions about what to do or next steps, just give us a call. We are happy to guide you.
Please remember we have The Remote Distance Learning Technical Support Team!
The Remote Distance Learning Technical Support Team for families and students will solve for issues like:
- Support for standard software like Microsoft Office, Adobe, G Suite
- Support for some hardware like printers, Internet and Wi-Fi Connectivity
Families and students will be able to receive support Monday - Friday from 7 AM - 7 PM by calling 1-(800)-789-0051.
