St Mark YEARBOOK Signing and Purchasing Information
Good news! Yearbook signing IS NOT canceled! Only a few St Mark CHS Yearbooks available for purchase - buy a yearbook online Yearbook Signing: SOCIALLY DISTANCED EDITION We are excited to announce that the St Mark CHS yearbook signing tradition is alive and it’s fully digital to suit our socially distanced students. Jostens has just launched a new platform, Yearbook Digital Signing Pages, that gives every student in our school the chance to create virtual signing pages, invite their friends to leave messages, and print out the final pages to keep with the yearbook as a permanent keepsake. This is free for every student whether they purchased a yearbook or not. Share the link below with your student so they can get started with their yearbook signing. |
Student Locker Update
We are currently in the process of developing a protocol that will ensure the safe entry in the school by students to clean out their lockers and return textbooks. Further information regarding this protocol will be shared with you likely next week. We hope to begin the process of student entry at the beginning of June. We anticipate that this process will take several weeks. |
2020 St Mark Craft Fair
The difficult decision has been made to cancel our 2020 St. Mark Craft Fair. Given the uncertainty of what will be allowed at that time, we are not going to risk spending many hours organizing the show only to have it cancelled. Thank you for your support and understanding. |
