- Picture retakes will be on November 5th from 8-10:00 at Erickson. Please let your classroom teacher know if your child will be taking retakes. If your child attends school ONLY in the PM (PMkinder or PMpreschool) and you would like to have your child's picture retaken, please bring your child to school on November 5th between 8-10:00am. Please let the office know that you will be coming: eroffice@sd13.org so we can plan for your arrival.
- ALL students that were absent on the original Picture Day, September 23, will have their pictures taken on November 5th.
Some frequently asked questions about Picture Day/Retake photos:
- Is there a sign-up form for Picture Retake Day or how does a parent communicate interest in a Retake? The office has a list of students that were absent on Picture Day. These students will automatically get their picture taken on November 5th. If your child was not absent, but you would like your child to retake their picture, notify your teacher. Then your child's name will be added to the retake list.
- What if I don't like the photos from the Picture Retake Day? Can I opt for a photo from the 9/23 Picture Day for the yearbook or will the Retake photo be used? The retake photo on November 5 will be used.
- When do the 9/23 Picture Day photos expire for purchase? You can order pictures from 9/23 or 11/5 for yourself anytime during the school year. The link will not "expire" until June.
