Weekly Update 7/31 (Picture Day Action Needed)
Hello everyone,
Congratulations on a great first week of band camp! Here are some updates as we move into week two.
Picture Day
Band picture day will take place next week on August 7th at 12pm. There is a new procedure for ordering photos. Here is the note I received from the photographer;
"Parents, please follow the link provided, complete the brief 30-second registration form, and you will automatically receive all ordering information for pictures. This registration must be completed before picture day, even if you do not plan to purchase photos. These images are also used by the local newspaper, the athletic department, and the school year book. thank you for helping us keep picture day smooth and organized.
The link above will also be posted to the website.
Students were fit for their uniforms this week and will take pictures in their uniforms. Students who were not fit for their uniforms will have the opportunity to be fit on picture day. THANK YOU to the booster parents who helped fit and are altering uniforms!
