2021 Yearbook

Greetings ISLA Families!

I’m pleased to announce that a small team of us has begun working on the 2020-21 yearbook. We’ve got some changes in the works and I think it will make the yearbook even more awesome!

First, we’ve switched companies. We’ll be using a company called TreeRing, there’s a few key changes that come with this transition that are very exciting!

• TreeRing is a company committed to the environment. They partner with Trees for the Future and for every yearbook ordered, a tree is planted.
• They do not require us to order a minimum amount of yearbooks. In fact, they also have flexibility so that if you miss the order deadline, you can still place an order directly with them and simply pay extra to have it shipped to your home.
• We have the opportunity to allow our 6th graders to have 2 custom pages in their yearbooks. This is a new level of personalization and we think they will love it!
  

Some things that won’t be changing include having the kinder and 6th graders draw their pictures, this is always such a fun part of the yearbook! The 6th grade drawings will transition to the interior of the book and this will give students a chance to actually “autograph” their drawing in each others yearbooks.

Finally, we need your photos! Below you’ll find links to the dropbox requests for images. Please note, each grade has it’s own dropbox.
