Geskus Photography:

Picture retakes will be on Thursday, Oct 25th . Any student who had a picture taken who is not happy with their portrait should bring in their pictures on retake day.  It is very helpful if you  have a comment why you  did not like the picture, i.e. your  hair was not right, the smile.. This way the photographer will make sure that the student's pose is not the same as before.

 

When a student brings in his/her old picture(s) and wants to receive the same package they do not have to fill a new order form.  But if anything should change they will need to add the additional cost and to make sure the background is the same.

 

Please note that new ID's will NOT be taken, so the ID you have already received is the ID you will use for this school year.

 

If you were not here for picture day last month you will need to have your photo taken for ID purposes regardless if you are planning on purchasing a portrait package or not.
