Class of 2021
Herff Jones will handle graduation memorabilia and other items for the seniors. A representative will come to the school and give a presentation to seniors during November. Students will be bringing home order information on that day.
Seniors that plan to use their own photo in the yearbook (instead of the school photographer’s photo), will need to submit an electronic copy. Senior Pictures must be submitted by February 1 and can be submitted in a 3×3 inches, 300 dpi, Jpeg format to Mr Guary at bguay@artsacad.net Please write your name in the subject line so the yearbook staff can contact you if there is a problem.
Senior picture guidelines…
- No filters such as SnapChat
- Formal or causal clothes
- Head and shoulders only
- If a picture is not submitted or doesn’t follow these guidelines the yearbook staff will use the school picture taken by Lifetouch.
Please check our yearbook page for photo details and deadlines.
Senior dues for the Class of 2021 are $130. Senior Dues must be paid in full by February 1st, 2021. Checks can be made payable to: Arts Academy in the Woods. All monies should be turned into the office, so that you can get a receipt.
