Yearbooks!
We have a fantastic school year ahead of us. As we anticipate the memories, friendships and special times ahead, we’re also looking forward to one of our favorite traditions—the yearbook.
As a reminder, Yearbook orders are due by this Friday, February 15.
To order online, visit ybpay.lifetouch.com and enter access code 12601319.
All students were previously sent home with a paper order form. Additional order forms are available in your community office. Paper order forms with payment should be returned to your community office by Friday, February 15.
We strongly encourage students to pre-order a yearbook as there are a limited number of hard copies for sale at community offices in May/June.
