Picture Day
Monday October 28th and will be set up in the Main Varsity Gym. I have attached the picture day schedule. The goal is to get as many of our students and teachers to take their pictures. This is open to all underclassmen and seniors. Senior portraits will take a bit longer. If you have a class full of seniors, you can go at the beginning of the class to make sure they have enough time to dress for their portraits. SPED and BSY students can go at any time that suits those students.
