Class Photo/Class Composite
This year, we are pleased to share that we have a new provider for student photos. Each student will receive a composite class photo, which includes all students in their class.
This means that any student who was absent on Picture Day (October 29th) will have the opportunity to have their photo taken on Retake Day (November 26th) and still be included in the class composite.
Please note that the sample image provided is not exactly the same as the final composite photo that students will receive.
