Picture Day is BACK!

If your child is part of the boys' basketball team or the cheer team, athletic pictures will take place Monday, November 10th.

If your child was absent on all-school picture day or would like a new picture, picture makeups and retakes will take place Wednesday, November 12th .

For absentee students, families can visit the Van Gogh website at www.ordervgil.com, select "Before Picture Day," and enter school code: 20016602 to place an order.

For students who want a retake, they are able to go to the camera set-up on retake day. If a picture package was previously purchased, the order needs to be returned to the photographers on retake day, and Van Gogh will print the original order using the retake image. Please know that the retake replaces the original image.
