INFORMATION FOR SENIORS AND FAMILIES

 

The following is intended to provide information to help guide you through this busy year and give details of events as well as dates and deadlines.

 

**PA WEBSITE** www.pillowacademy.com

            Please continue to check the school website on a regular basis because dates and details occasionally change and some dates for events are still to be determined. There is a Senior Tab on the home page with information and updates.  There is also a student roster on the Senior page.

 

**GroupMe**

            There is a Senior Class Parent GroupMe set up.  Please let someone on the steering committee know if you are not on this so that you can be added.  This is the easiest way to communicate as a group. We will use this a lot – please make sure you are getting messages!

 

Additional Information-

            *Please sign up for two committees.  These committees are meant to divide the duties that make the senior events possible throughout the year. Thank you for helping in advance!

            *Most invitations to Pillow Senior Parties will be handed out/texted/emailed to all the students rather than mailed. Jenni Hargett will be happy to pass these out at school.

            *As in the past, the class is encouraged NOT to buy senior gifts for each other. 

            *Yearbook Ad dates are very strict and important!

            *Senior Pep Rally- Parents of Football Players, Band, Cheer, and Dance are encouraged to participate.  However, ANYONE that wants to take part is welcome!  Watch for more information on this through GroupMe.

            *If you have photos throughout the year that you would like to share, please post them on our Class Facebook page or Group Me so they can all be available in one place.
