A FEW NEW SCHOOL YEAR REMINDERS:
n Senior boys need a Senior Tie, available for purchase in the Webb Bookstore. These ties are required for Convocation, graduation, the first and last day of school breakfasts, and other days as announced. Senior girls will often wear Senior Ties to football games and on the first and last day of school.
n Your senior will receive a request for yearbook photos and quotes. These are due September 1. The request will be for three baby photos, which may also be used in the Senior Digital Yearbook. Also, each student must submit two senior quotes that will be printed in the traditional, hard-copy yearbook along with the senior portrait and baby pictures. Please submit your yearbook photos and quotes to Diana Curtis/ WebbPress at diana.curtis@webbschool.org.
n Seniors will also receive a request for their graduation book selection. Our school’s founder, Robert Webb, started the tradition of giving each senior a book at graduation. Seniors are asked to select a special book that has meaning for them, which will be presented at graduation along with their diploma. The deadline to submit your graduation book request is September 30. Click on the below link for more details and to submit your graduation book order.
