PARENTS
SENIOR PARENTS- Even though the final deadline for submitting your child’s yearbook dedication ad has passed, there is a VERY limited amount of ad space still available for late submissions. If you are still interested, don’t delay, submit your ad as soon as you can. We don’t want you to miss out on this very special opportunity. For more information, to get another copy of the order form or to submit your ad online, please visit www.TheYearbookCompany.com. The last day we will be able to accept late ads is December 17th or until the available space is filled. If you have already purchased a yearbook ad, thank you! Your student will be excited when she/he opens her/his yearbook.
JUNIOR PARENTS- Our plan is to again offer an on-campus Kaplan SAT Prep class, pending enrollment, starting in February on Tuesday and Thursday evenings. The class will end the week before the on-campus SAT exam for juniors on March 6th. Because there is a reduced cost to this class ($360), we will need 25 students to register – first priority is given to juniors. Registration closes on January 22nd or when we reach the required number of 25 students – see attached flyer.
