3. Order Yearbooks Today!
Prices for the Yearbook: Yearbooks are $50 if you order during September.
-
Prices go up $10 in October, then again in January and April.

April orders only happen if there are unsold yearbooks.
Prices for Senior Ads: Senior Ads are $50 for 1/8 page and 70$ for 1/4 page if ordered in September.

Why this matters: Sometimes students don’t realize their parents have ordered a year book and they don’t know to show up for distribution.

4. Unofficial Transcripts are available for Seniors
Class of 2024: Seniors’ unofficial transcript can now be accessed through PowerSchool, under “Student Reports.”
Why is this important? College applications typically ask students to self-report what courses they have completed, and the grade earned.
To access: Login to PowerSchool (available through both parent and student portals)

5. Students can sign up to hear from college representatives at both campuses
What it is: Beginning this week, college representatives are visiting Warren to meet with interested students.
-
Attending a college visit is a great way for students to get more information about a school and get your questions answered.
-
Students can expect to hear from each college about their majors, admission requirements, student life, housing, tuition, and financial aid.
How to attend: Students must sign up to attend a visit (O’Plaine Signup Link | Almond Signup Link) before the day of the event.
-
Students can only miss 3 classes per semester to attend, not including lunch or study hall. Their absence will be excused.
-
Students report to the College & Career Center at the start of the period.
-
They must be passing all of their classes and are responsible for getting late work from their teacher.
