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.
