Reminder notices for seniors: there should be a copy of the retake reminder notice to to pick up in the Main Office. Any senior wanting a retake does NOT have to bring any form of payment on picture day. They will receive a copy of their new proof emailed to the addresses we have on file for parents.
For grades 9-11: There will be a copy in the Main Office of the half-sheet reminder notices for each student in grades 9-11. There are also a small handful of order forms, for anyone who is ordering for the first time on picture day. These would just be for anyone who was absent, or is new to your building since picture day. As a reminder, any student in grades 9-11 wanting a retake will not need to turn in one of these forms. They will simply need to bring their original package back to the photographer in order to trade in for their new picture.
