Buying a Yearbook

How much does it cost?

Pre-Orders (Now - April 15, 2023)

Pre-ordering a yearbook is the only way to guarantee you receive a copy! Yearbooks are priced at $65 and then increase to $70 on January 1, 2023. There are additional options that can be added to your purchase (Name Stamp, World Yearbook, etc.) which can be added in when you check out.

After April 15:

Pre-Orders will no longer be accepted. Yearbooks will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis when they are delivered to the school. If you miss the deadline but would like to be added to the waiting list.

When will I receive my yearbook?

The projected ship date for the 2023 yearbook is in early May 2023. Yearbooks should arrive at Hodgson about the third week in May. Seniors will receive their yearbooks first, then underclassmen. Please check your class Schoology page for updates about when your yearbook can be picked up.

What if I need a refund?

We must submit our final book count to the publisher in April. Your purchase of a yearbook reserves a book for a specific student and we can’t get a refund from the publisher if you change your mind once we have placed our order.

Book refunds will be available until April 8, 2023, for any reason. After this date, we can only offer a refund if we sell out of books and your book can be sold to another student.

The yearbook is a student-produced product and our goal is to include as many students as possible and have as few errors as possible but unfortunately, not all students will have the same amount of coverage and errors will happen. Therefore, we do not offer refunds due to content or coverage as the book chronicles the events of an entire school year and not just one student.

We will offer a replacement book if the book is damaged due to printer error (missing pages, damaged binding, etc) as long as supplies last. After that, a refund will be offered if the book is surrendered to the yearbook staff. Damaged books must be returned immediately to the yearbook staff -not a week later- as we need to ensure that the damage was caused by the printer.

We do not offer free replacements if a student damages or loses his/her book.
