Save or print the Health Inventory and A+ Form. Email the saved forms to saustin300@spsmail.org or mail completed forms to Central High, attention Shelia Austin. Completing these three updates will help make the transition easier for students.

Central Journalism wants to alert you of a few informational items as we roll into this school year.

Our school picture days are scheduled with Lifetouch. Please make sure that your student is aware of the following dates:

Please note that ALL students 6th-12th grade must take their photo with Lifetouch photographers at Central to appear in the portrait section of the yearbook. We do not accept photos from other photographers for the portrait section.

Please make sure to purchase your yearbook online at JostensYearbooks.com (via credit or debit card) by going to the website above and clicking on “Order Your Yearbook” before the end of April.

The pricing changes throughout the school year, and prices are determined by the school district. If you buy early, you save! Here’s how the pricing breaks down:

The yearbook is created by students for students! It has a hard cover, 208 pages, and is printed in full color. My students take photos, write stories, use publishing software to put the pages together, and edit it all themselves before the publishing company prints and binds the books.

In honor of those preparing to graduate, the Central High School Résumé yearbook will include senior

recognition ads consisting of photos and messages to the Class of 2023. Parents and/or guardians have an opportunity to purchase these ads in order to commemorate their child’s graduation, in addition to the purchase of a 2023 Yearbook. The proceeds of yearbook sales and senior ads will benefit the Central High School Journalism Department. We use these funds to help us pay off the production costs of the yearbook.

This year, Central Journalism is taking advantage of a new opportunity to streamline the senior recognition ad purchasing process. Starting August 1, please make sure to purchase your optional senior ad online at JostensYearbooks.com (via credit or debit card) by going to the website above and clicking on “Order Recognition Ad” before the end of December. Online, you will be able to choose a layout, upload your photos, type your message, and create your student’s ad. The yearbook staff will edit your ads for style and consistency with the rest of the yearbook. You are also able to pay with your credit or debit card online. Here’s how the pricing breaks down:

Don’t forget that a senior ad purchase does not also purchase your student a yearbook. A yearbook purchase and a senior ad purchase are separate items.

Have a great school year, and Go Bulldogs!
