Eastwood Picture Day
Picture day is here! Picture day will be Tuesday, September 28, 2021. Please see the information below concerning all things related to picture day.
Parents/guardians may use this link to go online and pre-order pictures. The link is a live link and will automatically log them in; all they need is to enter their email address.
The online access code without the link is: 0003584IN

Here is an overall review of what to expect.
- All students will be photographed.
- When an order is placed online, the parent/guardian will receive a camera pass via email. This can either be printed or texted to the student and brought to picture day. The photographer will photograph the printed camera pass along with the student.
- If a student is not able to print their camera pass, that is not a problem. We will match up the student to their order manually in the production process. (We will have printed camera slips with student data for all students.)
- A parent may order from the flyer up until 24 hours after picture day. After 24 hours, the online ordering access may close. This will allow our imaging team to "Pull" all orders submitted and match them with the students photographed.
- When pictures are returned to school, all students that purchased pictures will receive their prepaid package. Any student that was photographed but did not order a package, will receive a "Proof" (PX) of their picture that was taken on picture day.
- All proof packages offer parents a second opportunity to order prints. All orders are subject to shipping and handling costs of up to $8.50 and will be shipped directly to home.

It will also ensure your student is covered for free meals the first 30 days of school for the 2022/2023 school year to avoid meal charges.
- Eligibility guidelines can be found on www.yourchew.com, in the upper left corner, under meal applications.
- Note - You do not need to complete a meal application if you have already received a letter indicating that your student has been directly certified.
