The 2025-2026 Yearbooks have arrived! If you had pre-ordered and paid for the yearbook last year, your student should have been given the book today at school. If you would like to order a yearbook, but did not pay for it yet, you can still order by filling out the attached order form and returning it to school.
If you need a paper copy of the order form sent home with your student, that can be done, as well. Just email jdegroot@bluffs-school.com and we will send one home as soon as possible.

Bluffs School would like to say THANK YOU! to Eagle Valley Bank for helping us welcome our students last week!
