5th Grade Baby Photos
It's that time of year again to submit baby photos for our school yearbook. Beginning on Tuesday, January 9th, all 5th grade classrooms will have an envelope in their room where they can submit actual photographs, or you can submit them digitally to wgbabyphotos@gmail.com. Whether submitting an actual photo or a digital copy, please make sure to label your photo with the students name and teacher. All actual photographs will be returned to you.
Please note: We are in need of high quality, high resolution photos. Grainy or under/over exposed photos cannot be used, so please submit high resolution photos.
Also, if for some reason you wish to opt out and do not want your child's baby photo in the yearbook, please email the name & teacher to the above email address and let us know.
