Spring Picture Information

I just want to give everyone an FYI on Spring Pictures.

Everyone student that had their picture taken should receive an envelope with samples of their picture.  On the sample page it has instructions on how to order.  You can go to the website, put in the Portrait ID  # and the Access Code # that can be found on the student’s sample page, if you would like to purchase.

We no longer have to have students bring back pictures they do not want.  They get to keep the envelope with the picture samples.

Any questions please feel free to let the office know.
