Want your yearbook?
Avoid stress and guarantee you’ll receive your YEARBOOK on the last day of classes. BY JUNE 9 make sure you take care of any outstanding issues — pay all School Cash Online fees, return all 1-3 quarter textbooks, pay library fines, etc. Ms. Penner has waived all late fines, extending a little kindness in these unusual COVID days. Only replacement or damage fees remain, and need to be paid for by June 9.
JUST A WORD OF CAUTION: If there are still outstanding issues on your account, you will not receive your yearbook when everyone else does.
