Students have until the end of the day on Friday, May 29 (TODAY) to return missing items to the school and have the fees removed. Put items in the drop box in front of the school and include a sticky note with the student’s name *and* teacher’s name.

Missing items will be replaced this summer and the fee(s) will remain on student accounts for any items not returned by May 29.

Outstanding fees can be paid online at our RevTrak Fee Payment site: You will need your PowerSchool parent account username and password to log in. (If you have trouble logging in, please email info@maeserprep.org.) Once you’ve added the fee to your cart, you will need to create a RevTrak account (or log into your existing RevTrak account) to enter your payment details.

If you have any questions or concerns, or think you may qualify for assistance, please contact the finance office ASAP at finance@maeserprep.org. Thank you!

HS Shakespeare Team Auditions **DEADLINE EXTENDED**

DEADLINE EXTENDED! By JUNE 1st, send Mr. Hults a one-minute video of your memorized monologue. Speak with diction, volume, and intention. E-mail Mr. Hults with any questions.

Yearbook Pickup: Tuesday, June 2

Our yearbooks are finally on their way! We will be able to pass them out on Tuesday, June 2nd.

We’ll have a drive-through pickup. Just pull up to the front of the school between noon and 2pm on Tuesday June 2nd. Yearbook staff will come to your car and bring you your yearbook(s) — no need to get out of your vehicle.

If you haven’t yet bought your yearbook, we will have a few copies for sale in the front office that day, sold on a first-come, first-served basis. (Please pull all the way through and park in the student parking lot so we can continue yearbook distribution; do not park in front of the building.)

Unfortunately, we cannot have our signing party yet. It’s not quite safe enough for us to have a large group of people passing around yearbooks and germ-covered pens. We’re still hoping to have such an event in July, but for now we’ll just enjoy the books as they come.

Questions? Please email Ms. Gerber at: natalie.gerber@maeserprep.org.
