HOW TO ORDER PICTURES FROM LIFETOUCH
- Visit mylifetouch.com
- Parents will have to make a Lifetouch account first if they don't already have one. This is for security purposes.
- After logging in to your account via the student ID section on the My Lifetouch homepage, you will be prompted to fill in your student's information.
- The page will populate saying, "We located your student" BUT it will NOT show the images of the student....only a silhouette of an image.
- The parent must select "Yes, this is my student" and click Next.
- On the next page, you will be prompted to select a package at which point the image of the student is visible. They must select a package to view their image.
- They can then checkout as usual.

• hear or understand what people say?
• read?
• do math?
• understand what the teacher tells them to do?

You can get help!
