Senior Portraits were due on October 25th . If your senior did not attend school picture day and did not submit by October 25th, they will not be featured in the portraits section of the yearbook this year. If they did attend picture day, but have not submitted yet, we may be able to replace their school photo with a submitted portrait. Please have your senior visit room 204 for more info.

Seniors wishing to have a preferred name that has not been changed in Q/Parent Connect need to have parents email handeland_mackenna@asdk12.org by Friday 11/8 approving the name swap. Please include the correct spelling of the original name and the preferred name in your email. Please also ensure that the email it is sent from matches the parent email in Parent connect.

All Senior Portraits will be posted in the hallway outside of 204/205 from Tuesday, November 12th to Wednesday, November 20th. Please visit and review the proofs to ensure that:
a) The correct and intended portrait has been used

b) Your senior quote was approved

c) Your name is correct and spelled correctly

d) Your selected activities are listed correctly

It is the student's responsibility to review these proofs to ensure that their portrait and information are correct. If you see any issues, there will be a form to complete to have this fixed. If the student is absent during that time frame, or is a full time AMCS or partial enrollment, they should have another student send them a picture or visit before or after school.

Senior Tribute Ads are still available for purchase. Please visit www.yearbookforever.com to choose your ad size and upload your photos and message for our team to design. Sales close January 15th.

Senior Portrait Submissions are open now at bit.ly/chugiak2025. They are due October 25. Completing the survey will take about 15 minutes, including uploading your senior photo.
