DETAILS:

• PGS students have a picture taken for yearbook and school ID.
• Parents come during one of the drop in times listed above and visit the PGS Picture Day table to pick up your student's ticket to give to the photographer.
• Families may choose to purchase individual photos by ordering online within 4 days of picture day.
• Ordering is optional as every student will get a student ID at no charge. Go to Dorianstudio.com to order your pictures or there will be an order information for you on picture day.
• A School ID card will be provided for each student at no charge. ID cards will not be printed or reprinted on retake day.

Retakes

Retakes will be available October 29th for students who missed picture day or would like a new photo taken. Students wanting retakes need to return original picture packet or purchase a new picture packet.

The success of the PGS relies on dedicated and committed parent educators. To assist in facilitating this success, all families enrolled are encouraged to volunteer. The online application is on the Everett School District’s main website: https://www.everettsd.org/domain/1452

When selecting which position in the application process choose “School Day Volunteers” Club leaders and PTSA Board members please choose “Extended Day Volunteer.” Once you have completed the application and been approved (this takes about 2-3 weeks) you will be eligible to be on campus and volunteer.
