December 2020 Monthly Newsletter
Happy December!
Dear Columbia Crest Families and Elementary Virtual Academy Families,
While the holidays are approaching it sure does not feel like the holiday season we are used to. We've sprinkled in holiday cheer throughout this newsletter of past holiday program pictures and videos of performances.
We are saddened to share our secretary, Ms. Fitzer is ending her career as the secretary of Columbia Crest after six years. Ms. Fitzer's last day is on Friday, December 4th.

OR
December 15th drive up anytime from 1:00-5:00pm
All Elementary Virtual Academy (EVA) and Columbia Crest students are invited to campus to have their picture taken for the yearbook and to purchase pictures.
Parents may pull up to the main entrance for their student to exit their vehicle, students will enter the gym with assistance of school staff to have their picture taken. Parent will remain in their vehicle.
Pre Ordering:
Parents will be able to PRE order fall picture packages online or via the flyer until the images are received by our lab for processing, this is usually about 48 hours after your last picture day.
To do this please go to www.mylifetouch.com and enter your schools Picture Day ID that you will find on your flyers or on your parent notify email reminders.
Post Picture Day Ordering:
To place a POST picture day order students and parents will need to wait until processing has been completed and they have received a Proof Sheet or contact customer service to place the order directly with them 1-866-955-8342. On the proof sheet is a Portrait ID and Access Code specific to each child and necessary for ordering at that point. (This will allow the parent to see their image of their student)
To do this please go to www.mylifetouch.com and enter your personalized Portrait ID and Access Code.
Picture Packages and Proof sheets are usually delivered to the school about 3 - 4 weeks after picture day.
***If you cannot locate your proof sheet you may call customer service at 866-955-8342. You must have the following information for access: School Name, Picture Day ID (generic to school), Student First & Last Name, and Student Grade.
For Clarity:
If a parent purchases a photo packet through Pre-Order, then those photo packets will go to the school. The time frame of purchasing via Pre-Order is any time before your scheduled picture day and up until 48 hours after the last Original picture day event. For example, your school's picture days are 11/4 and 11/5. Parents can Pre-Order anytime before and up until 11/7. After 11/7, ordering is closed until the parents receive their proofs within 6 weeks from 11/5.
*Pre-Order means that parents have not seen the pictures and decided to just purchase the photos. When parents Pre-Order, they are NOT charged a $5.99 shipping fee since it will be sent to the school along with Proofs for students who's parents did not Pre-Order.
Once the school receives the proofs along with any Pre-Order packages, the school distributes the Proofs and Pre-Ordered packages to the students/families.
When families take the Proofs home and review it they can then decide to do a Retake or they can then Post-Order their Packages. Once the Proofs of the Original Picture day comes in, parents can now only Post-Order and they cannot have anything sent to the schools. The families can order their Packages through the Proofs and those will be shipped to families' homes with a $5.99 shipping fee.
The only other circumstance for the school to receive another round of photos/packages is if you have a Retake Schedule. When you have a Retake Day the proofs of those photos will also go to the school and the families will then go through the Post-Order process again.
