I always knew that the season would last a long time and sometimes going to practice after school would be a pain when I had lots of schoolwork to get done. But in the end it finished sooner than I could imagine and I wish I could just experience one more Friday night game playing for this team,” Norton said.

FAQ

What is the cost of a yearbook?

$75 if purchased by December 25.  After that, the cost is $80 until the end of spring break, and then yearbooks can be preordered for $85 through the end of the school year. If you want your name engraved on your yearbook, please pre-order your book before April 30.

To preorder your student’s yearbook, visit yearbookforever.com and search “Lee’s Summit North.” From there, follow the steps to purchase a yearbook. Credit cards, debit cards, and PayPal are accepted.

If you would like to pay with cash or check, please drop off in the front office or mail to LSN.

When is the deadline for ordering?

The last day of school. No extra books will be ordered. If Walsworth ships us any overruns, they will retail for the book’s price at the end of the school year. We can NEVER count on this.

How can I find out if I already preordered a yearbook?

If you think you ordered online, you can look up the email you would’ve ordered with on yearbookforever.com. If you ordered at registration through PowerSchool or in-person with cash or check, you can email Mrs. Jessica Brown, CJE (jessica.brown@lsr7.net) and she will be happy to check her system.

When will the yearbooks be delivered?

The previous school year’s books will be delivered in August the following school year and available for pickup in the front office or on a designated distribution day. For example, the yearbook for the 2020-21 school year will be distributed in August of the 2021-22 school year. Follow @lsnyearbook on Instagram and like the Lee’s Summit North Yearbook Facebook page for real-time updates. 

Some schools are spring delivery and some are fall delivery. LSN has actually been fall delivery since 2001. There are pros and cons to each, and we’ve actually found that the students today don’t value signing yearbooks as much as previous generations did, which we think is because of the presence of social media.

Our Student Council voted during the 2018-19 school year to keep fall delivery so that all of the spring events could be included, making it a complete YEARbook. Spring delivery schools actually sacrifice having spring sports and events like prom and graduation covered in the yearbook itself (there’s an option to do an insert, but then you run into the issue of those having to be picked up at a later date anyways) because the final deadline for them is before spring break.

When is School Picture Day?
Pearce Photography is our official school photographer. They will have designated picture days at the school for grades 9-11 and a designated day for seniors as well. Specific dates can be found on the school calendar. Pearce also offers senior portrait sessions for SENIORS ONLY in the summer each year for a sitting fee. Their studio is located at 415 Main Street, Belton, MO 64012. Communication of these dates will be sent by the yearbook adviser in July each summer.

Please help us ensure that your student is following the dress code. The following accessories and items are not allowed in portraits and students who are wearing or have such will be asked to remove them before their photo is taken: no hats, no hands, no headphones, no sunglasses, no backpacks, and no purse straps. They will be asked to wear a jacket if they are wearing off-the-shoulder tops or spaghetti straps that make them appear nude in their photo (yearbook photos are cropped at the shoulders) or shirts with inappropriate images or lingo. We encourage seniors to dress up—suit and tie, dress shirt and tie, collared shirt, solid color dressier tops or sweaters. Students who are not in compliance with these rules will not have their photo featured in the yearbook.

Pearce Photography will be back at the school one final time for a retake/make up date, which can also be found on the school calendar. For a sitting fee, Pearce will also allow you to schedule an appointment at their studio up until the retake/make up date, and after that, we will no longer be accepting any portraits for the yearbook.

All school pictures will be uploaded on pearcephoto.com. A week after taking your portrait, enter any email address and the student lunch number as the password to see your student’s photo and place an order for prints. For questions about viewing or ordering photos, please email info@pearcephoto.com.

Can I submit my own portrait to the yearbook?

No. Pearce Photography is our official school photographer and takes all student portraits grades 9-11. If you want to submit your own portrait to the yearbook and you are a senior, consider purchasing a senior ad.
