Retake day is for new students and staff members, transfer students, or for anyone who may have missed the initial picture day. Additionally, we welcome anyone who was unhappy with their original picture and would like to give it another try. Retake photos automatically replace original photos in school services and yearbook. If a student chooses to retake their photo, please have them return the original picture package to the photographer on picture day. We will replace it at no additional cost.

Today seniors were given the name of their mentor for Senior Project. They should now get in touch with their mentor to arrange a time and place for their weekly meetings. It is important that they establish this relationship early so that they can begin making progress on their project. Initiating communication is the first important step in this student-led learning project. Seniors should be prepared to discuss their ideas for topics and potential EQs with their mentors during their first few meetings.
