STUDENT INFO

Students: Yearbook Distribution Day will be this Friday, May 8 during first block.  We will be on an extended first block morning assembly schedule to accommodate for this.  You will be called down to the B-gym by grade, starting with upperclassmen first, to pick up an already purchased book or to purchase a book.  We will have a very limited quantity of books to sell on this day.  Purchases will be first come, first serve, and will be $85.00, cash only.  For students who have already purchased a book online or at the school: you must be present to pick up your book.  Previously purchased books can NOT be picked up by friends or siblings unless Mrs. Pryfogle has already received permission via email from a parent/guardian of the student that purchased the book.  For example, if Leah McVay is picking up Soly Beehan’s previously ordered book, Soly’s parent/guardian needs to send Mrs. Pryfogle an email stating that Leah has permission to pick up Soly’s book.    Students must have their badge so the yearbook staff can properly ID you.  For any questions about this please see Mrs. Pryfogle in room CS312.
