Senior Pictures: Attention Seniors! What a year this has been! It's certainly a Year Like No Other! Because of this, we had our lowest turnout of senior photos this year. This has created a unique situation this year--because of the low turnout, we would like to use the ID photos from September in the portrait section of the yearbook for seniors who did NOT get their formal picture taken. However, we know our seniors don't always prepare for ID day, so if you would prefer to NOT be in the yearbook with your ID photo, please come see me in room 504 OR email me and let me know. If I do not hear from you by 2/22, the ID picture will be included in the portrait section of the yearbook.
