SMILE! TIME FOR SCHOOL PICTURES
Students in Pre-Kindergarten through Grade 7 will be photographed on Thursday, October 18th. Students in these grades may dress up on October 18th. Parents should have received a picture envelope for each child to pre-pay for the photos they wish to order.
Students in 8th grade will be photographed on Friday, October 19th. Eighth grade students may dress up on October 19th. For grade 8 students, Scholastic Photography does NOT require the pre-pay photo plan. Instead, grade 8 students will receive proofs at a later time. Photos can be ordered after receiving the proofs.
