Lifetouch Photos and Picture Re-take Day
Students who had their pictures taken on Picture Day, September 12th and 13th, will receive their photos on Tuesday, October 1st.
Parents may view their photos online. To order and view photos, log in to your account on mylifetouch.com or create an account using your student's student ID number. All families can also log on and order a FREE Digital SmileSafe card. More about the Smilesafe program here.
If you have any questions regarding your picture order, please call Lifetouch at 1-800-736-4753.
Picture RE-TAKE Day is on October 10th.
NOTE #1: If your student purchased a picture package for the original Picture Day and would like to get a re-take, please have your student bring in the picture package they have received and turn it in to the photographer on re-take day.
NOTE #2: If your student did not purchase a picture package for the original Picture Day and is planning to get a picture taken on Re-take day, they should use the re-take picture Photo ID # to purchase a picture on line, or turn in a paper order form (cash/check orders) to the photographer on re-take day.
Photo ID: EVT4VFK38
Direct Link to Order - https://my.lifetouch.com/mylifetouch/#/prepay-student-info
Paper Copies are available in the Main Office
NOTE #3: If your student purchased a picture package for the original Picture Day, but was absent or did not get photographed, they do NOT need to complete a new order. Once their picture is taken on re-take day, their previous order will still be in the system and will be applied to their picture taken on re-take day.
