2021-2022 PC Yearbooks
If you ordered a yearbook through the company website, these will be given to the students on Monday, May 23rd. The students will have an opportunity on this day to get signatures from fellow classmates during the afternoon on that day. If you would rather them not get signatures from classmates, please let you child's teacher know prior to May 23rd.
Extra Yearbooks
Parents,
Did you miss your opportunity to purchase a yearbook? Yearbook signing is around the corner and we have 20 extra books available for sale.
The cost for the yearbook will be $20.00 as this helps to cover the additional printing costs etc. If you would like to purchase a yearbook your first opportunity will be Friday, May 13th from 8:00-8:20 in the office. Payment must be cash or check only. If paying by cash please bring exact amount, if paying by check make it out to PCE PTO.
You must include your child’s name, grade and teacher with payment. Your child is more than welcome to bring payment for you but it must be to the office by 8:20. Payment will not be accepted during the school day. Books can not be placed on hold and will be sold on a first come first serve basis. Please do not call the office requesting a book be held for you or requesting a different time to purchase.
All yearbooks purchased on May 13th will be handed out with the others on May 23rd in time for the yearbook signing.
If there are any remaining yearbooks the very last opportunity to purchase will be Friday, May 20 from 8:00-8:20 in the office. Communication will be sent out if the yearbooks sell out on May 13.
These two dates and times will be the only opportunity to purchase a last minute book. When they are gone, they are gone and we will not be able to make any special orders for any reason.
Thank you!
