Picture Day Info
Picture Day for B Day students will be Friday, March 12th.
Any A day students, HLA students, or students needing make-up pictures are welcome to call the school to make an appointment to take pictures from 8:30am-2:30pm.
At www.strawbridge.net you will be able to purchase a picture package if you wish, but as with our normal fall pictures, there is no option to view them before purchase. Should you order a picture package which you are unsatisfied with, you are welcome to return that package and your student can retake pictures on picture make-up days (TBD) in March.
Here are the instructions to order your child’s pictures online:
Go to: www.strawbridge.net
Click: Order Pictures and Yearbooks (red box near top)
Enter school code: FM356112 and click Find (green box under code)
Enter information for your student
Purchase a picture package if desired.
Picture money envelopes are available for pick up in the office if you would prefer not to pay online.
Inclement Weather Make-up Days
As of today, we have missed eleven school days because of inclement weather. According to the approved RCPS calendar, the Superintendent, in consolation with the School Board, will determine make-up days. At this point, we are planning to maintain spring break, April 5 - 9, but we are making some revisions to our current calendar to make-up for two of our missed days.
The changes are as follows:
Thursday, March 18 full school day (originally planned as early release)
Friday, March 19 full school day (originally planned as division in-service)
Wednesday, March 17 parent-conferences from 12:00 - 7:00
Wednesday, March 24 division in-service day
Thursday, June 10 full day (originally planned as early release)
If we miss additional school days because of inclement weather, we will make-up these days by attending school on designated Wednesdays to be determined.
