MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS
Yearbook Deadline Fast Approaching! 

The deadline for ordering your 2010-2011 San Marin yearbook is approaching.
You may have noticed that the yearbook order form was not included in
this year's Back-To-School packet.  This was done intentionally in order
to utilize an on-line ordering system.  Ordering is quick and easy.
Just log on to www.YearbookOrderCenter.com or call 1-866-287-3096 for
assistance.

If you do not wish to use the on-line ordering method, you can also
place your order directly with the school.  Just pick up an order card
and submit payment to the front office.  But act quickly before the
deadline.

Senior Parent Pages can be ordered and even designed on line as well.

Don't miss out!
