"Make Up/Retake" Individual Student Photos - Lifetouch Photography will be here on the morning of Monday, February 1, from 9-10:30 to take Make Up & Retake Individual Student Photos for students in PreKindergarten, Kindergarten - Grade 7 (PK3 and Grade 8 photos were taken by an alternate photographer). Students that need a retake photo should bring their original photo package. Students that were not present on picture day, (Monday, September 14, 2020) should have their picture taken even if no portrait package is being ordered since every student is featured in our annual yearbook and in this year's composite group photo that will be comprised of thumbnail photos of each student since social distancing protocol precludes traditional group photos this year. Students having their picture taken may wear their uniform of the day for the photo or bring an outfit to change into for their picture. Uniform of the day should be worn for the rest of the day.
If ordering a package because student did not have a photo taken in September, please use the information below:
#uKnighted in Celebration! A Special Theme Every Day!
During this special week, we also celebrate Faculty & Staff Appreciation!
Throughout the week, we will provide teachers with a breakfast treat, lunch (they won’t need to prepare for), as well as a Supply Bar. A Sign Up has been created to help support the events happening throughout the week. Click here. As always, participation is completely optional! Many thanks to all who have already donated! There are still a few items available for donation.
Additionally, on Monday, February 1st, the theme will be “We can’t mask our love for our students and teachers” . We are asking that students write a note of appreciation/love for one, some or all of their teachers to bring to school, so students can share in the appreciation.
