If you purchased a 2024-2025 yearbook, those are now in and ready for pick up in the main office. There are a limited number of extra yearbooks for sale, first come first served in the main office. The cost is $60 cash or check made out to Grand Forks Public Schools.

2025-2026 GFC yearbooks are now available to order online. The cost is $55.00 plus a $2.75 processing fee. All payments are processed by PayPal, but a PayPal account is not required to complete the purchase. At checkout, the purchaser can choose to pay with a debit or credit card instead of using a PayPal account. The 2025-2026 yearbooks arrive in the fall of 2026.

If your GFC student attends classes at either Red River High School or the Career Impact Academy, parents will need to notify those schools as well if their student will be missing class so those periods can also be excused. Our Attendance Secretary cannot code absences for classes that occur at other schools, she can only excuse the classes they take in person here at GFC.

RRHS Attendance Lines: When you call RRHS, please indicate to the administrative assistant at this school that your student is a GFC student.
