IMPORTANT YEARBOOK INFORMATION:
ALTA VISTA STUDENTS! You are such an important part of making the yearbook great this year.
Here's how you can help:
STUDENT/TEACHER PORTRAITS! Portraits will be taken by YOU this year! You should've received an email from MY YEARBOOK PHOTO with a link to easily submit a portrait (any background is fine). If you cannot find the email, please check your spam folder. If you still haven't received the email or have questions, please contact Anne-Marie Hart: am@amandjohn.com. If you do not submit a portrait, your name will be listed with your class, but there will be a placeholder for your picture.
CANDIDS and OTHER PHOTOS! Please send in pictures of school life, family life, zoom screen captures, etc. from this past school year to https://uploads.picabooyearbooks.com/9190061 and place it under the Book Section: Candids. Ideally, it would be great if each family could submit 3/4 photos.
PURCHASE A YEARBOOK! This is the first time this year the yearbook has been available to purchase - so no one has placed an order yet! Please visit https://altavista.picaboo.com to order online. Yearbooks will be shipped to your home address again this year because of COVID. Deadline to order is May 7th! After you purchase, you will receive 2 emails from support@picabooyearbooks.com - one is a receipt and the other is a link to add free personalized pages to your yearbook.
ATTENTION 5TH GRADERS!
