  • ***Yearbook Order Information: Order yearbooks through Jostensyearbooks.com. Here’s the latest on yearbook ordering: Price: $58. It will increase to $65 on April 4. Sales go offline — that means they end at jostens.com — May 22. If anybody misses the online ordering, they’ll have a few days after graduation to order at school. They can write out a check to the school (for deposit in the yearbook account), and we can keep a list. This year, personalized yearbooks can be ordered until April 17. A personalized yearbook has the student’s name imprinted on the cover. I should note that the print is kind of small and a name on a personalized book is kind of difficult to find, due to the cover’s design.
  • Cabaret Band/Vocal Friday, March 13th @ VSHS Auditorium 7:00.  Postponed
  • Bowling end of the season banquet @ Berry’s Lanes Sunday, March 15th 6:00.

Seniors

  1. SENIORS:  Make sure you check out the Scholarship and College Visit pages on the vscsd.org website.  These pages are updated on an ongoing basis so you might want to bookmark them and refer to them often.
  1. Seniors- Please stop in the office and pick up your cap and gown & graduation items now. Talk to Morgan if you have any questions. Must be paid for before picking up.
  1. Scholarships and the FAFSA: With scholarship season coming up, it would be in your best interest to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid. Even if you are convinced you are not going to get any money from the Federal Government, many institutional and private scholarships will still require you to file the FAFSA in order to be eligible for their money. Filing the FAFSA only takes about an hour, and it would be a shame to not be eligible for free money just because you didn’t fill out the form. If you have questions regarding the process, please see Mr. Tandy ASAP.
  1. Senior (Class of 2020) Graduation Information:
