ATTENTION PARENTS:
All students will be photographed for the yearbook on picture day. You will be sent an email with your proof image to view in about two weeks with a code allowing you to view and purchase your portrait packages online.
Students will go to the library to get their picture taken during their Social Studies class.
**If your student does not get his/her picture taken on Tuesday, September 10th, there will be a MAKE-UP DAY on Tuesday, October 22nd.**
PHOTO TIPS:
- Solid colors or small, simple patterns photograph best.
- Avoid wearing shirts with logos or sayings.

We need adult volunteers for the book fair!
There are certain times during the book fair when crowd volume gets pretty high. The periods we are open in the morning before school (7:35-8:05 AM) and the period after school (3:45-4:05 PM) are the busiest times for the book fair.
If you are able to come in and volunteer -- either to work as crowd control or to run the 2nd register -- you will be eligible for a 20% discount off of a book fair purchase!
You can use the link below to sign up for slots. You can also email me (lgreer@weatherfordisd.com) if you have any questions.
