Seniors, it's time to get your senior yearbook photo taken! We have a road shoot that will be at CATA on Wednesday, July 28th. Go online to https://cady.com/book22 to schedule your session! You must register and schedule a session, no drop-ins. We need more students to sign up for the July date or it could be canceled due to low numbers. Every senior needs to get a picture taken with CADY so they will be in the yearbook. Follow the directions below to sign up to get your picture taken.

1. CADY has a studio at Crown Point Plaza in Matthews. There will also be a photoshoot at CATA on Wednesday, July 28th.
2. When you go to the website, search for Central Academy, pick an additional scene, and then click continue.
3. On the next page you will see prices for session (sitting) fees. If you want the basic $30 option then scroll to the bottom of the page and select simple session. Your session fee (sitting fee) is the fee you are paying for the photographers to take your picture and there are a lot of different priced options with multiple locations, dedicated photographers, makeup artists, etc. This fee DOES NOT pay for any of the photos that you might want. You will have to purchase your photos after you receive your proofs.
4. Make sure to remove any pre-checked items you do not want such as double proofs, retouching, etc.
5. Select your date and time, create an account, and pay the sitting fee.
6. Show up for your appointment date and time you selected to get your pictures taken.
7. After your pictures are taken you'll receive a portfolio in the mail. Keep anything you'd like to purchase and return everything else in the enclosed postage-paid envelope.
8. Remember, we want 100% of our seniors represented in this book but we can’t do it without you.
9. Yearbook and senior tribute orders can be placed once school starts in the fall. The yearbook is always at its lowest price the first week of school so order early to get the best deal!
10. If you have questions about senior pictures, please contact CADY Studios. If you have questions about other issues, contact Ms. Christensen at deb.christensen@ucps.k12.nc.us.

Current Juniors Meningococcal Vaccine Requirement
In 2015, the State of North Carolina added Meningococcal vaccine to the school required immunizations.  The first dose of Meningococcal vaccine, MCV, was given to this year’s Juniors prior to the start of 7^th grade as a school required vaccine.  The second dose of this vaccine is required prior to the start of the Senior year, the 2021-22 school year.

If your child does not currently have evidence of the MCV vaccine, please contact your child’s health care provider to obtain it.  Following administration of the vaccine, please submit a copy of the record to the school nurse yet this school year. This documentation must be on file here at school prior to the start of the 2021-22 school year to meet this school enrollment requirement. Individuals born before 1/1/2003 are exempt from this requirement.

For complete details and explanations, please review the website https://immunize.nc.gov/schools/ncruleslaws.htm for NC general statutes 130A-157.

Thank you for your timely attention to this matter. If you have any questions, our school nurse will certainly be available to you as a resource.  Please contact her at 704-296-3088 or by email at monica.newsome@ucps.k12.nc.us.
