School Portrait Day is
November 10, 2008!
Picture packages are available by pre-paying for them, and bringing the order form and payment to school on Portrait Day to give to the photographer. If you purchase a package, the photographs are scheduled to be delivered before the winter holidays.
All students are photographed because we use the pictures for school ID cards and the yearbook. You do not have to purchase a picture package, but this is a fundraiser for WJPS, and your support is greatly appreciated. Order forms and envelopes are being sent home with students shortly. Please note that a soft blue background has already been chosen and it is the only background available.
If your original order form and envelope are misplaced before November 10, you can print copies of them, fill them out and enclose payment in an envelope to bring to school on November 10.
Here they are in pdf format:
Students are expected to wear full dress uniform of blazer, button-down shirt (worn buttoned up under the blazer) and khaki, black or navy trousers/skirt for their portraits. For students who have gym on November 10, we will call that grade early so they are fresh and neat for their pictures.
Students will be photographed individually and by advisory. To keep everything running smoothly and on time, we ask that students cooperate by courteously following the direction of school and photography staff members. To get the best picture possible, please work out your hairstyle, make-up and accessories between now and November 10. Neck scarves and chunky earrings and necklaces can be distracting in a still photograph, so give these some thought before wearing them for your portrait. Please come to the auditorium already prepared to have your portrait taken as there will be no time for trips to the bathroom or student lockers. A schedule will be posted before Portrait Day so you will have an idea of when your grade will be called.
The photographer will collect payment envelopes as pictures are taken. Envelopes will not be accepted or held in advance by teachers. WJPS is not responsible for misplaced payment envelopes. We strongly discourage bringing cash to school, so please make every effort to pay by check, money order or credit card.
Parent volunteers are needed for the morning and afternoon of November 10 to help out. Please contact me by phone at school, 718-461-2219 or email at hreed2@schools.nyc.gov if you are able to lend a hand. If you have any questions or need more information about Portrait Day, please do not hesitate to contact me.
