GENERAL
BULLETIN SUBMISSIONS
The deadline for Bulletin announcements is 1:00 pm the day BEFORE the posting is to run. On minimum days, the deadline is two hours before school ends, but still the day BEFORE. We do our best to accommodate multiple day runs, but it is entirely dependent on the volume and urgency of all the postings received for that day. All submissions are subject to editing for content, grammar and length. There is no word limit, but be sure to include all the pertinent facts (time, place, deadlines, who is sponsoring, if it is grade specific (ex: only freshmen should attend), and if it is a fund raiser, who it is for, etc.). Be sure to include a contact person with a phone number or email address in case there are questions. Email your announcement to Martha Middleton at [email protected].

Yearbooks will be available for pickup next Wednesday, Sept. 9 from 1:30 to 3:30. If you still need to purchase one, there are some available for sale. Remember, it's cash only and the price is $140. Further details will be available later this week.
