Smile! Picture Day is Tuesday, September 21
We can’t wait to see your children’s smiling faces this September!
Just like last year, all photos will be taken outside by a Stuart Rodgers photographer, maintaining appropriate physical distancing. There will be no classroom photos but Stuart Rodgers will be creating a classroom composite for those who order them. If the weather does not cooperate, we will reschedule for another date.
A new change for this year! In years past, parents have received order forms ahead of Picture Day to be returned to the school. This year, there will be no order forms. Every child will have their photo taken. Then after Picture Day, Stuart Rodgers will email you a photo gallery from which you can pick your child’s photo and place an order.
A Picture Retake Day is scheduled for October 26 for any children who miss Picture Day or who are unhappy with their original photo.
