Presidents' Letter

Hello, Ogden families!

We are looking forward to a wonderful school year. The PTC committees have already been hard at work over the summer planning a number of fun family activities and events for our Ogden community.

If you missed the Playground Committee newsletter, check it out here.
We are still in need of volunteers to help with the back to school party, so if you are able, please consider signing up here.

We are delighted to be serving as the PTC co-presidents this year and look forward to seeing you at one of our back-to-school events soon!

Yearbook Photos

Throughout the year we will rely heavily on our Ogden families to submit photos for consideration in the 2024/25 school yearbook.

We utilize an app called "ReplayIt." It is a simple way to upload photos from your phone or submit via their website. Further details and instructions on how to use ReplayIt can be found HERE.

Please note that yearbooks are ordered from Feb - May through the Jostens website. Further details and reminders will be provided around that time via the Ogden PTC Newsletter and reminder emails.

If you do not order a yearbook through the Jostens website, we cannot guarantee extras will be available in June when they are handed out.

Questions? Contact the Yearbook Committee.
