Frequently Asked Questions Q: What if I am not able to order online? A: If you are not able to order online, you can pick up a order form in the main office at school and mail in your order along with payment to our local Jostens office at the address below. Jostens 4670 E. Fulton Suite 202 Ada, MI 49301 Q: Can I barrow a gown from a sibling or friend? A: If you are borrowing a gown from a former graduate, you'll still need to make sure to order a new 2022 tassel. Also, be sure that the gown you have is the correct color and size. If you only need to order a cap, tassel and stole, please call 616-888-8020 as this option is not available online. Q: When do I receive my items ordered? A: When you checkout online, each item will have a description to the left on when and where that item will be delivered. Clothing items will be shipped to your home within a couple weeks of ordering, while announcements and cap and gowns will be delivered to school in the spring time and will be distributed on a special senior delivery day to be announced. Q: How do I know my ring size? A: See the main office at school for a disposable ring sizer that will guide you on what size you should order for yourself. Don't worry if you need it resized, Jostens offers free resizing for life!
SEL Learning
Dear Families, we are now in Week 3 of our Socio-Emotional Learning Curriculum Lion's Quest. Week to week, students will be learning things such as Self Awareness, Self Management Skills, Relationship skills, Social Awareness, and Responsible Decision Making. Consider partnering with us by using the Family Connection resources included below!
This week in the High School, students will use skills from identifying and clarifying their personal values to deepen their understanding of social awareness and responsible behavior. Consider using this Resource to practice these skills at home!
Community School Coordinator
September 20-24th is Community School Coordinator appreciation week.
Community School Coordinators work diligently to create and manage the partnerships that allow students to learn and thrive. They create a strong, purposeful bridge between schools and communities, and it is their hard work that push this movement forward.
