SCHOOL PICTURES TOMORROW: School pictures will be taken here at school TOMORROW, Thursday, September 15th by Vculek Photography. An order form was sent home with your student(s) in case you would like to order copies of your child’s picture. PLEASE RETURN THE ORDER FORM NO LATER THAN 8 A.M. TOMORROW MORNING! Payment must accompany the order form AT THE TIME THEIR PICTURE IS TAKEN in order for the order to be processed. There are a variety of “package deals” to choose from. Purchase of the pictures is optional. DRESS CODE: Students may wear a nice shirt or blouse along with uniform shorts or slacks --- the girls may wear skirts or dresses. Students may wear their school uniform if they prefer.
