Yearbook
Order A Yearbook If you are interested in purchasing a yearbook, please visit the Jostens site. Online orders will be open until June 14.
Digital Yearbook Signing: It’s been a year like no other. Lots of special traditions have been cancelled--but not this one. Yearbook signing lives on and is just a click away. Get signing today!
Yearbook Distribution: Yearbooks will be distributed over the summer. In an effort to cover students while they were in school and to cover events we typically would not have the chance to cover (like prom, senior picnic, and graduation) we chose a summer distribution. If we had done a traditional spring delivery, our yearbook would have been due before students had returned to school in March. We appreciate your patience and understanding!

Tips for Parents & Guardians to Support Student Writing
- Think of yourself as a collaborator, not an evaluator. Focus on the 'big picture' elements of writing, such as the argument or organization.
- Ask your student what they want you to read for - that way, you have a purpose for reading and know you're giving them the feedback they want.
- Have them read their writing out loud. They may notice any problems on their own, just by 'hearing' it.
- Find a specific thing about the paper to praise - maybe the introduction is interesting, or they have a turn of phrase that sounds just right.
