Fall picture retakes are scheduled for Tuesday, November 12. We will be photographing new students, students that were absent on picture day and any students that were dissatisfied with their photograph from the original picture day. Students new to our school and those absent on the original picture day will receive an order form in their Monday folders on Monday, Nov. 11. If you purchased a package on the original picture day and would like to be rephotographed, you must return your package on picture day. If you received only a proof, those do not need to be returned. Please call the office with any questions.
