Picture Day
This year picture day will be on October 4th and 5th. It is important that everyone takes a picture to get their ID Card. In efforts to speed up lunch lines, students will be expected to swipe their ID badge instead of punching in their number on the pad. This ID will also be needed to check out books and material from the Media Center. Did you know your school ID will also count as a valid ID Card when applying for work?

Portrait packages are available ranging from $25 to $80. There is also a no cost option available for a basic yearbook sitting. Go to the Legacy Studios website to book your appointment.
