DID YOU KNOW?
We will be trying to do a spring delivery yearbook for the first time at the high school. As a result, senior portraits will be due one month earlier, in an effort to get books to the school before seniors graduate.
We are excited to try to offer a spring book! However, to meet our deadline, we will need to follow a strict timeline for publication. Schedule your senior portraits today with one of the great local photographers. See the attached information if you do not intend to get senior photos, and need a cost effective option.
THANK YOU!
Free/Reduced Lunch Application
NOT ALL STUDENTS HAVE FREE LUNCH IN 22-23! For the last two years, all students in SJPS qualified for a free lunch. That federal program is scheduled to end this year, but students can still qualify.
