PICTURE DAY, MONDAY, OCTOBER 11

All students in grades 6 - 11 will be photographed - even those who do not buy a picture day package.  We need to photograph everyone so they can be included in the yearbook, and to have images for school ID cards.  Picture Packages do raise funds for the school, so we hope you can support the school that way.

You can choose any background you like.  Please give the picture day form and payment directly to the photographer, not the teacher. There is no "class picture" to purchase.  You can pay online before Tuesday by going to http://www.mylifetouch.com/.  Our school ID is OV141183Q

Students need to be in their blazer, white button-down shirt and appropriate slacks.
We make every effort to schedule picture taking during gym classes.

Parent volunteers would be greatly appreciated.  Please email Mrs. Reed at helen.reed@wjps.org if you can volunteer, or if you have any questions.
