Hello Parkland!

Yearbooks will be coming early next week and we are getting ready to distribute them.  This is reminder that your school account needs to be clear of any overdue books, missing textbooks, school materials, fines, or other outstanding issues for you to get your Yearbook.  Be sure to make sure all of this is taken care of before next week so there is no surprises when you try to pick up your yearbook.  More information about when and where the textbooks will be distributed next week is coming.  Stay tuned and make sure your account is in good standing!

This is reminder to look in your locker, under your bed, in the bottom of your bag, or the the back of your car for any Parkland Library books to return before the end of the year!  This is a great opportunity to make sure your Library account is clear, and you do not have any outstanding overdues before the end of the school year.  Come and see us in the Library Learning Commons if you want to check your account!

We want to remind everyone that you need to have a clear Library account in order to get yearbooks!
