If a parent cannot make it, it would be good if the student could attend to get the necessary information. The Jostens representative will also be here to answer any questions you may have about caps and gowns as well as other senior items that are available to order. This meeting will be about an hour long. We look forward to seeing you then. Thank you, have a great day, and Go Huskies!
