Picture Day is Thursday, October 8th! |
Van Gogh School photographers will be on the Joyce Hall stage and in the Gym taking all student, faculty and staff pictures on Thursday October 8, 2020.
Students may be out of uniform, including those who have PE that day. Students are encouraged to dress their Sunday best.
The photo taking procedure this year is thus:
- Students are called to the photographer, stand on a marker on the floor, remove their mask, SMILE, next student. In the past they hopped up on a stool.
- eLearning students are invited to be the first to be photographed and may arrive at school at 7:40 as the photographers will be starting at 7:45. Please come to the Waiola doors for admittance and don’t forget to wear your mask.
Online ordering is the preferred ordering method, however, there are a few pre-paid envelopes in the school office for those families who prefer not to order on-line. If you would like one please let Mrs. Peggy Evans know at pevans@sfxlg.org. Please return the envelope with your order and payment prior to or on the morning of pictures. Prepaid order envelopes can NOT be accepted at school after picture day and will be returned to parents. On-line orders must be placed prior to or on picture day.
Picture retakes, graduation pictures and yearbook pictures are currently scheduled for Tuesday, November 10. More information regarding graduation and yearbook pictures will be sent in late October.
