Preorder your 2025-2026 Yearbook!
A new idea for the 2025-2026 school year — we are offering the option to prepurchase your yearbook. Families who prepurchase will receive an email later in the spring reminding them that they already purchased a yearbook.
Students will receive their yearbook in early June, just like in years past.
If you read all the way to the bottom - thank you so much! We know it is a lot of information to take in but we also want to be communicative and transparent with how we are serving our students, school, and community.
As always, we are an email away if you have questions, comments, concerns, or compliments.
Love,
The THE PTA Board
