Feedback from the Yearbook Survey: Thank you to the people who responded to my survey. Based on this information, we will offer to buy a yearbook with cash for $50. Order forms will go home in folders on Monday or Tuesday. The increased price is to cover the processing fee and tax.

For next year, we could reduce the price of yearbooks by reducing the number pages and will explore working with Cowen Studios to possibly offer a coupon code with the purchase of Fall pictures to help with price. Our yearbooks are always given out in May and to do that we do not include the last few months of the year. Other schools on our campus include the entire school year in their yearbook which results in students not getting their yearbook until the first part of the next school year. Both opinions were expressed in our feedback, wishing the whole school year was represented and also wanting the book by May. NDLE usually chooses to have books given out in May, so we must have everything turned in by the end of March to ensure books are printed and shipped in enough time. We can explore each of those options for next year. The last thing is, we will begin advertising books in the Fall to give everyone plenty of time to purchase. Thanks again for your help!--Mrs. Brawley
