Parents, we have an update on yearbooks. The manufacturer has stated the following "We have instructed the manufacturing plant to get the books to you with priority shipping no later than Thursday." We have asked them to expedite the shipping to Wednesday, but this is out of our control. The yearbooks were ordered on May 1st which is plenty of time to have the yearbooks printed, shipped and ready but the supplier originally had the delivery date of May 25th. The mistake was caught last week and we contacted the supplier to expedite the yearbooks at that time. We will provide students with signature pages if the yearbooks do not arrive in time, but we are still hopeful. We will keep everyone posted.
