It will be YOUR job to make sure that you are pictured and that your name is spelled correctly. If you do not do this, we cannot guarantee that you are indeed pictured correctly and that the spelling of your name is correct. If you see a problem with your picture, like your picture and name do not match, or that your name is spelled incorrectly, you can go into the Student Activities office and fill out an ""Error Message"" form and submit it to us so that it can be corrected for printing in the yearbook.
The same error checking will be done for Sophomores (11/25-12/7), and Freshman (12/7-12/11). Please remind your student to check!
