A Message From the Principal
SAVE THE DATE--PICTURE DAY!
Picture Day Covid Changes:
On Picture Day, students and staff that have their picture taken will no longer receive an order form. They will receive a sheet of paper with their proof options printed on it providing instructions for them to order online. Again, this is strictly in an effort to eliminate paper exchanging hands between households, schools, and our lab. If parents are unable to order online, we will provide them information to call our studio for alternative ordering options.
