Questions about Class
rings, Graduation Announcements or Cap and Gown orders?
Visit
www.herffjonesnorthflorida.com
This is a great way for the students and parents to stay up-to-date with
order and
delivery dates for Rings and Graduation supplies. Also parents can always
know
the balances on items that have been purchased.
In addition to ordering, parents can make payments on Rings and Graduation
supplies prior to delivery dates. Less worry for parents sending cash to
the
school with their students and assurance that the balances are paid.
Don't want to miss out on important dates and reminders?
Then preregister your email address on the website.
