Please be sure to sign up for a specific meeting time with your child's teacher soon!
We like to meet with EVERYONE! ๐

Printing Error on Some Wallet-Sized Pictures
We noticed that some of the wallets were not printed correctly and the perforations were not centered. If your child's wallets have this printing error, please email studio@throughalens.com with a picture of the picture as evidence of this error. They will contact the printing company to have your child's wallets reprinted and sent to the school. Please email the address above if you have any other issues or questions about your child's pictures. Through a Lens apologizes for this inconvenience and will make it right.
Picture Retake Day is October 17th
Spring Picture Day is March 11th
Respect the Red Coupons
Be on the look out for "Respect the Red" coupons! All staff at Wolf Ridge will have coupons to pass out each month to those students they see demonstrating respect, responsibility, empathy and determination. We want to encourage those students who are "doing the right thing" at our school. One side of the coupon will be sent home. The other side of the coupon will be placed in a monthly drawing for prizes. The more coupons you get each month, the better your chances for a prize during our drawing at the end of the month.
