Picture Retake/Make-Up Day!
Picture make-up day is set for this Tuesday, November 15!
- If a student ordered a package and was not happy with their photo then they must return their package on Retake Day. Christmas City will refill their order with the new photo. The new package will be shipped directly home.
- If any new students or students that were not photographed on the original day can use the code on the flyer attached found here to place an order.
- This weekend, Christmas City sent all families a digital photo to the parents/guardians emails since there have been some delays in shipping. This should allow families to make a decision on retakes.
