Picture Retake Day
Picture retake day will be held on Monday, November 29th. This is for individual photos ONLY. Class group photos will not be retaken. *If you were absent on picture day, you need to have your photo taken. Additionally, if you are not satisfied with the quality of your photos, you may have them retaken. PLEASE NOTE: Picture retakes are only for obvious poor photos. (i.e. out of focus, poor lighting, eyes closed, obvious bad expression, etc.) Photos will not be retaken simply because you don't care for the way you look. In order to have a photo retaken, you need to bring in your original photo packet, and write on the packet why you are dissatisfied with the photos. Your original packet will be taken by the photographer.
