Last Chance for Formal Senior Portraits
This is your student's LAST CHANCE to have a formal photo taken at this time to appear in the portrait section of the yearbook. Graduation gowns and cords will be provided for seniors to wear in their formal portrait. There is no charge for this photo session.
Please communicate with your student that they should receive a pass by Thursday, Nov 13 to go to the Commons for their Last Chance Senior Photo. If they don't receive a pass by Nov 13, have them visit Mrs. Folsom in rm 115 to get one.
Formal Senior Yearbook Portraits
Friday, Nov 14 Rolland Studios is coming to Free State to take formal Senior Yearbook Portraits. Avoid scheduling College Visits or doctors' appointments if at all possible.
NOTE: There currently will not be another opportunity to have a formal senior yearbook photo taken.
Keeping it Formal...
Last year Class of 2014 seniors wore graduation gowns, honor stoles and graduation cords in their senior yearbook portraits. This created consistency between photos and provided a formal photo for every senior. This year all senior photos will again be taken by the school portrait photographer. Only formal senior yearbook photos taken by the school photographer are published in the yearbook.
What to wear...
While the graduation gown covers most of a student's outfit keep in mind that the neckline of the gown reveals a little of the shirt below. Young men are encouraged to wear a button down shirt (tie optional) and young women are encouraged to avoid fussy collars that might distract from their face.
How much will the formal portrait cost?
Each senior formal portrait is provided to the yearbook staff by Rolland Studios as a courtesy. There is no charge for having the formal portrait taken. If parents want to purchase prints, Rolland Studios will have information available after October 23.
NOTE: National Honor Society members wear stoles that cover ALL of the students' outfit, so the outfit underneath isn't really going to show.

Student Activity Tickets & Student ID Cards
Students involved in athletics pay for a Student Activity Ticket as a part of their athletic fees. Parents can also purchase an SAT along with school fee payments so their student can gain admission to school athletic events at a discount and not have to wait in line. By purchasing a SAT early in the season a student can save money versus paying student admission at every athletic event they attend.
Each SAT has the students' School ID Photo on it, so It is important that ALL students (even seniors) participate in the August 21 School ID Photo Day in order to receive their SAT by the first home football game on Friday, Sept 12.
Make sure your student has a photo taken August 21
If your student does not have their photo taken on August 21, they will need show proof of their SAT purchase in order to be admitted to athletic events without paying an additional admission fee.
