Information will be sent home.
Your child will still have their picture taken even if you don't order pictures. After the photo session, you will receive a link to preview their pictures and order from there.
Picture retakes will be on October 28. You must return the original packet you ordered if you want the picture to be retaken.
Composite photos of your child's class will be mailed after the picture retake day to ensure that students who were absent on the original picture day are still in the class photo.
