Dear Parent, Student, and Educator,
We have a full week of school with an early out Wednesday. We appreciate all those who attended and participated in last week’s homecoming festivities! Thank you to our volunteers for making the week a success. See below for high school news and highlights.
School Picture Orders (9-12)
Here is how to order student pictures from school picture day that was previously held on Sept. 25th at GHS.
- Wait for the proof that comes with packets that all students will receive. Proofs will be handed out at school and come with a code that you can order from.
- OR, Go to myLifetouch.com and search by student ID. You can order by student iD and name for 11 months from the original picture day.
- Need help with ordering or questions, call 1-800-736-4753.
- Picture retakes are scheduled for November 8th at the high school.
