​Welcome Back to Campus
​Alta Vista Cougars!

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!
  • 5th GRADE BABY PHOTOS! Please upload a baby photo of your 5th grader by April 23rd to https://uploads.picabooyearbooks.com/9190061 and place it under the Book Section: 5th grade baby photos (at the very end of the list).  Photos of your child between the ages of 1-3 years work best as the students will try to guess who they are. Portraits (taller rather than longer) pics only please.
  • COVER ART COMPETITION! 5th graders - It's time to start working on your cover art for the yearbook! We will choose a winner for the front and back. Submissions are due April 23rd! Please email your artwork to am@amandjohn.com or drop off at 125 Lu Ray Dr. Instructions are attached to this email.

SMALL BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT
Since we have entered into shelter-in-place again, our small family-owned businesses need our help.

We would love to spread the word and let others know how they can support our community during this crazy time!
