Picture Make-up Day
Wednesday, October 11th is picture makeup day.  If students did not have their picture taken during registration, they should report to the Multi-Purpose room during lunch to have their picture taken for the yearbook and receive their student ID card.  They may also purchase pictures.  Order forms are in the front office.  Also, if students had their picture taken and would like a retake, bring the entire package you received in the mail and the photographer will collect them and retake their picture.  If you have any questions, please see one of the staff members in the front office.
