Additionally, we ask 8th grade parents to take a moment and submit a baby or toddler photo of your student for use in promotion fun!

Each year our Cal Young students put together a high quality yearbook. Distributed in the final week of school, students then are given time for yearbook signings. Be sure to reserve a copy for your student!

A list will be posted on Monday morning for students to check to see if they have already purchased and reserved a yearbook for the 2024/25 school year.

Yearbook order deadline is April 17th.

Cost of a yearbook is $30.

Online payment, donations, and scholarship requests can be processed through the link below.
