You can help us design the front and back cover for our 2020-21 yearbook. 2 designs will be selected (one for the front, and one for the back). The theme this year is BE KIND, BE SPECTACULAR! All you need to do is download the templates below ,complete your artwork, and turn it in by January 11th by 4:30 pm. You can also email your finished artwork to yearbooktma@gmail.com. Be sure you DO NOT decorate the gray sections as that is for the title, theme, and yearbook personalization pictures. *If you do not have access to a printer, there will be templates you can pick up from the blue basket in front of the school office. Hybrid students can get their templates from their teachers.
*You can access electronic templates in the Dec. 18 Weekly (see archived weeklies below)

A Note From the Principal:
Happy New Year and Welcome Back! It is that time of year for us to determine enrollment and staffing for the 2021-22 school year. Next week, you will receive a yellow form that must be returned by Friday, January 22. Although, we learned this year to be ready for anything, as of now, we are planning for a fullly open return in August 2021.
Warmly,
Mrs. Carreras
