Preferred Name in Yearbook - Students Will Request!
We want to identify students by their preferred nicknames, so we created a form to help with that. This is what the form says: So you go by Jake, but we put you in the yearbook as Jacob? Or you go by your middle name instead of your first name? Please fill out this form so the yearbook staff can correctly identify you in the 25-26 yearbook. You have until the end of September to change your name in the book. After that, we cannot guarantee your name will be changed.
