Further action needed for distribution of your yearbook! After our last communication about the yearbook, we learned that families cannot update their mailing address on the Picaboo website. Instead, click here to go to the Yearbook Address Google Formto submit your mailing address. Families who have purchased a yearbook may also receive an email directly from Picaboo about the Yearbook Address Form. Yearbooks cannot be sent to a P.O. Box.
