📸 Picture Day: What You Need to Know
Friday, August 21
Picture Day is just two weeks away! We know families often have a few questions, so here are some quick answers to help everyone prepare.
❓Do I need to order pictures before Picture Day?
No. One of the benefits of our partnership with JostensPIX is that families can view their student's photos before making a purchase. Ordering takes place after Picture Day, and prints are shipped directly to your home.
👕 What should my student wear?
Students should arrive dressed for their school picture. These photos will be used for student IDs, the yearbook, and school records.
💡 Picture Day Tip: JostensPIX recommends avoiding solid green clothing, if possible, for the best photo results.
📷 Does every student have their picture taken?
Yes. Every student will be photographed for student IDs, the yearbook, and school records—even if you do not plan to purchase picture packages.
🔄 What if my student is absent or would like a retake?
Retake Day is Monday, September 21.
❓Where can I find more information?
Visit https://shop.jostenspix.com/faqs for answers to additional questions about ordering, shipping, digital downloads, and more.
We'll share one final Picture Day reminder during the first week of school with additional details about Picture Day, including what students can expect and how families will access and view their photos after Picture Day.
We look forward to welcoming everyone back and capturing another great school year. We can't wait to see everyone's smiles on Friday, August 21! 📸
