Picture Retake Day is on Friday, November 20, 2026!
Guidelines for Retake Day, as these are the ONLY students who can retake their picture:
1. Students who were absent on the ORIGINAL Picture Day
2. Students who would like a retake that MUST BRING their ordered picture package to the photographer on retake day (please let Mr. Rivers know if you plan to retake before November 20th as the photographers will not be at school the full day and we need to add you to the schedule)
I will post the students who were ABSENT on the original Picture Day, a time slot for when to come take your picture. This will be posted the week of retakes.
The opportunity to order the retake photo is typically 3-4 weeks after the pictures are taken.
