Yearbook: The yearbook staff has just conducted distribution this past Thursday and Friday. If any students did not receive their book then, they should email Ms. Carol Dembicki (cadembicki@fcps.edu) to arrange a pickup time. After receiving their yearbook, students should carefully inspect it for any printing flaws, such as blank/missing pages, upside-down or wrinkled pages, or ink smears. If any issues are discovered, bring your book to Ms. Carol Dembicki (cadembicki@fcps.edu) in room 164 or 167 before writing in it. Once you've written in the book, it becomes yours to keep and cannot be exchanged. Write your name inside the book right away once you've confirmed there are no major issues. This helps prevent loss or theft.
The yearbook is a student publication, created BY students FOR students. While we strive for accuracy and inclusivity, mistakes can happen. If you have a suggestion or concern, we ask that it be submitted in writing within 10 days of distribution, which was Friday, June 5. Please include a brief, respectful explanation, specific references (e.g. page numbers), and a constructive suggestion for improvement. Comments can be sent to Ms. Carol Dembicki (cadembicki@fcps.edu).
Thank you for purchasing the Montpelier yearbook this year to those who did! We appreciate your support and hope you enjoy this memento from the year.
