Spring Picture Day

This Friday students will have the opportunity to have their school pictures taken again by Lifetouch. There is not a form to fill out beforehand and you don't need to send any money in at this point. They will only be getting individual pictures taken, we will not be doing a class photo. Once the portraits are sent home, decide which ones you'd like to keep and then send in the payment and any extras that you do not want.

If you do not want your child to get his/her picture taken on Friday, please let me know by Friday before school!
