📗 Yearbooks - Order & Design Custom Pages!

1st - YOUR Yearbook!

Our middle school students and yearbook support staff are hard at work wrapping up the design and page layouts for their inaugural yearbook!  The deadlines below are for delivery to the school before the year's end.

* Monday 4/20: Order deadline with custom pages

* Friday 4/24: Order deadline without custom pages

The Treering support page has many great resources for parents around uploading images and designing custom pages (FREE with each book).  But they do take some time to lay out, so upload some photos, and get started today!

2nd - Contribute to Yearbook Photos! (Optional)

If you've taken photos throughout the year at school events, field trips, after-school clubs, or extracurriculars, the yearbook staff may include them in the page layouts!

💚 We LOVE our Teachers 💚

Parents and students are able to nominate a current or former teacher who made an impact in their life - in the classroom or during Specials - ALL teachers are eligible. Every nomination increases our chances of receiving the $2,500 Life-Changing Teacher Award and helps unlock up to 7 awards four our district. We still need quite a few submissions to have more teachers be eligible to win! Students and parents can do as many submissions as they want, and are encouraged to use the prompts on the nomination form to describe the impact those teachers have made.
⭐ This is also a great chance for students to practice their writing and typing at home. ⭐
