Yearbook Sales Are Open!
Reserve your copy of the 2024 Expedition created by our award-winning yearbook staff! There are two ordering options available:
Option 1: https://yearbookforever.com/ This option allows you to purchase a yearbook and add on extras such as having your child's name imprinted on the book, adding icons (symbols), or a plastic cover. The cost is determined by the extras you add on, but the base price of the yearbook is $65.
There's a great new way to show our school spirit! On Walsworth Yearbook's new site, you can buy this year's yearbook or a yearbook ad. I showed my school spirit, and you should too. Just go to the website and have fun! yearbookforever.com
Option 2: Log into My Student parent portal and go to the Rycor system to pay fees. You may only order a plain yearbook. The cost is $65.
Please Note: Keep a copy of your order so that you do not double order and your child has proof of purchase in May when the books arrive. Prices will go up in December.

Parent Bill of Rights
Parents, please make sure you have completed the Parent Bill of Rights. We have many parents who have still not completed this. Any student who is sitting in an advanced placement course and does not have this completed will be considered as an automatic “no” and your child will be removed from their advanced placement class on Friday, August 25th. This is done in the parent myStudent portal. For a student to take Advanced Placement courses, the College Level Course Work must be a “yes.”
If your child is taking Dual Enrollment, you consented via PHSC, but we also need a "yes" consent in myStudent. Parents of Dual Enrollment students, please make sure this has been completed for your child to take College Level Course Work by Friday, August 25th.
