2018 PHOTO DATE Thursday NOVEMBER 15th @ 9am: This is the only Preschool picture date scheduled. Even if you do not attend on Thursdays, please come to school that morning for your photo if you would like to have one taken. Individual photos will be taken and they also use this photo for a class composite. If you are not interested in ordering photos, you would still have to get a photo taken to be included in the class group composite. More information will be handed out closer to the date of the photos. The photographer will be back with proofs and package options after the photos are edited/printed. We will let you know the date when we have that available. The information sheet from the photographer can be returned on picture day or turned in to Miss Trisha or Miss Cara in advance.
