LifeTouch Individual Photos - Arrived

This afternoon you should have received your child’s Spring Individual Photos from Lifetouch.   As you will recall, these individual photos were not “pre-purchased”. With these photos, they take the pictures and then send them home for you to preview so you may determine whether you want to purchase them all, some, or none.

These photos are not your standard school photo shoot, but had the very fun backgrounds/scenery. You will be able to pick and choose what you would like purchase – 1 single sheet, 2 sheets, 3 sheets, or all the sheets. There is an ordering envelope in the packet that you will send back to your classroom teacher, with payment and any photo sheets you are not ordering. If you are choosing not to purchase any of the packet, just simply return the photos in the package back to school as well. There is also an additional card included in your order if you’d like to “re-order” additional copies.

I’ve had a chance to view some of the pictures, and they really turned out VERY Good!  Great Memories!

The Group Class Photos have not arrived yet, and we will send them home as soon as they arrive.

SPRING Photos – This Week

Our Spring Photos are coming up this week - Thursday, March 12.

We will be having 2 different photos taken.

1. The first photo being taken will be a class group picture. These group pictures MUST be Pre-Ordered & Pre-Paid. On the order form that was sent home, there is a detachable envelop that will have to be returned on the day of the picture - Thursday, March 12.
2. The second photo will be the spring individual pictures. These pictures are not pre-paid for, but instead, you will receive a copy of the photo that is taken of your students, allowing you to then make the decision as to whether you want to purchase the photos, part of the photo package, or not purchase them at all (which you would then simply return the picture packet to school). Students can make a pose selection, as well as a background selection. On that same form as the Class Group Photo you will find these choices, and you may make your selection then on the detachable form and students can turn this form in to the teacher prior to picture day, or bring it with them the day of pictures.

Again, both the form and envelope should be returned to your child's classroom teacher at any time between now and Thursday, March 12.

 

School Wide District Survey

The School Survey will remain open only one final week, as we desire to seek input from the parents/guardians of the students in our district.  Your input helps us target areas of improvement, while also sharing areas of celebrations! 

The anonymous survey should take approximately 5-10 minutes to complete.  You may access the survey here:  Click Here for English

ALICE Parent Survey

I wanted to send out the request to complete the parent survey one last time regarding our ALICE program, the district’s enhanced lockdown protocol.

The survey is anonymous. Your privacy is important; your answers will be combined with other participants and reported in summary form. Information reported will not indicate individual participants or schools.

Your input is valuable. Thank you for your time.     https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/ALICEParentSurvey2014-15
