PURCHASE A YEARBOOK - UPDATED INFORMATION (11/22/19)
Due to having extra yearbooks that were unsold at the end of last year, we are doing something different this year regarding yearbook sales. Instead of ordering a number of extra yearbooks, we are only ordering the number of yearbooks which are ordered (plus the extras we use for the libraries, guidance office, etc). What this means for you is if your child is waiting to purchase a yearbook at the end of the year, he/she may not have one to purchase. Sometimes there are overruns that the yearbook printing company gives us to sell, but those are not guaranteed. Please make sure you order your child's yearbook before the deadline, which is January 17 (the last day of the semester). If you don't, he or she will probably not be able to purchase a yearbook.

There are 3 easy ways to pay. 
1. Bring $65 cash to the school bank.
2. Bring a check for $65 to the school bank, written out to Oshkosh North.
3. Purchase online through Infinite Campus. You will go under Fees---Account---Optional Payments. There is a choice to select the purchase of a yearbook under this menu.

Also, if there happen to be extra yearbooks at the end of the year, the price is raised to $70, so buying one now guarantees you a book and saves you money.

If you have any questions, please email the advisor, Ms. Sara Klein, at sara.klein@oshkosh.k12.wi.us.   Thank you!

SENIOR ADS
Do you have a senior? This is a GREAT way to honor him or her, by taking out an ad in the Yearbook. Seniors love this, and it's a lot of fun. I have staff who are trained in designing these ads, so if you don't want to create your own (most parents don't), you can send us the pictures and what you'd like it to say, and we'll create it for you! Ads are due in mid-February, but we'll accept them as early as now. If you are interested, let me know and I'll send you a contract with more information. Prices are $200 for a full page ad, $120 for a half page ad, and our most popular, which is $75 for a quarter page ad. 

BABY PICTURES FOR SENIOR SLIDESHOW
North is unique in that we have a senior slideshow shown at graduation each year, to be included in the slideshow we will need the following from you:

1. Baby Picture (either email it to Ms. Sara Klein digitally or bring in a hard copy to Room 235 to scan)
2. Five or so friends pictures throughout the years. Try to only have seniors in the pictures if possible (but the pictures can be from when you were in elementary school or whatever)

I need at a minimum your baby picture, but if you'd like to also include friend pictures, those will be accepted as well. Thank you!

HOW TO SEND OFFICIAL TRANSCRIPTS
Please remember that EACH college you apply to will require an official high school transcript be sent after you apply AND in June after graduation. 

To refresh your memory from the senior meeting, please visit the Oshkosh North Counseling Department website (https://oshkosh-north-high.oshkosh.k12.wi.us/counseling/college-career-development) to review the TWO ways to send your transcripts. 

Please note- it is your responsibility to get transcripts sent to the colleges in which you apply. The only exception to this is IF you apply to colleges via the Common Application. When you utilize the Common Application, transcripts are uploaded to your application by School Counselors. If you have any questions, please feel free to stop down or email Senior Counselor, Mrs. Erickson.
