📸 Picture Day Retake
Dear Parents/Guardians,
Monday, November 21st will be Picture Retake Day for both the Annex and the main building. Class pictures will be taken at the Annex.
Proofs from Irvin Simon arrived today so students should receive them in the next day or so. Follow the instructions on the proof to view and order online. ALL orders will be mailed to you.
Please notify your teacher ahead of time if you would like your child’s picture retaken. On Monday, each grade will be called down at the given time slots and students will be sent down to the gym. There are no parent chaperones so please explain to your child the procedure in case of any confusion.
If there are any questions or concerns, email:
