SENIORS
ATTN SENIORS AND SENIOR PARENTS! There are two important deadlines coming up for seniors in regards to your 2020 yearbooks! First, SENIOR PORTRAITS ARE DUE BY THE END OF THIS MONTH! If you have not had your photo taken with Ralf’s photography before the end of October, you run the risk of not making it in the portrait section, and instead being listed as “not pictured”! Second, don’t forget about senior ads! If you are interested in having a senior ad included in the 2020 yearbook, be sure to order before Nov. 1 if you would like to avoid a price increase! All information about senior ads and senior portraits can be found on the Mira Costa website under the Yearbook tab.
