When 100 books are ordered, the site won't accept any more sales. In the event that we don't sell out,
sales will close on Monday, June 8

When you no longer need them, return books and other school-owned materials.
Seniors must return technology (Chromebook, case, charger), but 9th-11th graders should keep theirs for next year.
If you know you will not be attending Whitnall High School next year, you need to return technology at this time. Please put your non-technology items in a bag that includes a paper with your name and grade on it. The cost of anything not returned by June 12 will be added to IC fees. Please pay any balance due on student fees and/or lunch fees. Fees can be paid online on Infinite Campus or dropped off during curbside service.
Make sure payments are in an envelope marked with name/grade.
Note: Curbside pick up/drop off is busiest 11 AM - 12 PM, so you may want to avoid that time frame.
