OVERVIEW

Thursday, December 12 and Friday, December 13 is our Winter Showcase!

VERY IMPORTANT: This will NOT be a normal day of classes for students. Please do not drop off your student for school , unless they are performing. All other students must be accompanied by a parent or other trusted adult during the performance and showcase*.

If you have a student performing, it will be at 10am. The performance should be about an hour long on Thursday and 30 minutes on Friday. After the performance, families are invited downstairs for our open house showcase and a snack.

Harbor parents,

It’s that time again! If you weren’t with Harbor around this time last year, I’m Jared, owner of Jared Terry Media, and I am so thankful and excited that Harbor invited me back to take your student’s yearbook photos again. Similar to last year, I want to give you an early opportunity to place an order for a physical or digital copy of your student’s yearbook photo.

First, picture day this school year will be on Thursday and Friday, February 13th and 14th, during normal school hours. Quite a while from now, but you can never be too prepared.

With that, I am offering physical and digital prints of your student's photos for purchase, just like last year! I'll be accepting orders until February 28th. Any orders after that date will be subjected to a late fee, or may not be fulfilled. If I am unable to fulfill the order, a full refund is guaranteed , but please try to place your orders before the 28th! If you would like to order either a physical print or the digital copy of your students photo, you can place your orders through the Square Online website I set up just for you! I'll also be able to take orders and payments at Harbor on the 13th and 14th. Just come down to the photo area and I'll be able to help you there.

In your order, please include your students name in the “Notes” section of the checkout cart. If you are ordering for more than one student, please make a separate order for each student. It makes things so much easier on my end!

Lastly, if you would like to schedule a private session with me for your student, yourself, your family, or a friend, feel free to reach out to me at jared@jaredterrymedia.com. You can also check out some of my work on my website or my instagram page :)

Thanks again, and I'm looking forward to seeing everyone on Thursday and Friday!
