SMILE! IT'S TIME FOR SCHOOL PICTURES

Students in 8th grade will be photographed on Friday, October 18. Eighth grade students may dress up on October 18. For 8th grade students, Scholastic Photography does NOT require the pre-pay photo plan. Instead, 8th grade students will receive proofs at a later time. Photos can be ordered after receiving the proofs.
