Picture Retake Session
Tuesday, September 19
Student retake photos are scheduled for Tuesday, Sept. 19, from 10:30 a.m. - 1:15 p.m. That block of time includes homeroom and lunch, so any student needing a retake should make time to go to the auxiliary gym. There is no charge for just a yearbook photo. A student may purchase a package that day if desired.
If your student did not have his or her photo taken on orientation day in August, he or she must have a photo taken even if photos aren't being ordered. If there is an issue with the original photo (hair in face, eyes closed, off center), students may have a retake made. The original package of photos MUST be returned to the photographer.
If a student doesn't have a photo taken, he or she will not have an album picture in the school yearbook. Any questions, see Mrs. Tracy Luke, publications adviser, in Room 210 or email
