PICTURE DAY

We have a new local photographer, Straus Photography, this year and we are excited to see our school pictures!  Group A pictures will be taken on Tuesday, March 2.  Group B pictures will be taken on Thursday, March 4. Students in Group D Remote will have their own picture day on Wednesday, March 3, and will need to sign up for a time slot (sign up will be coming through Parent Square).

We plan to take all pictures outside, weather permitting. We will make a decision about this on February 26 based on the forecast.

Important things to know:
- Each child will have multiple photos taken 3/4 body and shoulder length.
- Digital downloads are available instantly upon purchase.
- Yearbooks can be purchased online soon.
- Retouch will be available for an additional charge.
- Class photos will be available later this spring.
- This year is contactless due to Covid. Please make sure your child doesn't need assistance with their clothes or hair (ie: bows, ties, necklaces, etc).

Best photo tips:
- Avoid Neon Colors, especially green
- Avoid Stripes
- Clean eye glasses (if applicable)

After photo day, scan your child's gallery code (will receive on picture day) to register. Once photos are ready, you will receive a text or email.

If you lose your paper, you can look up your code on straussstudios.com

All orders will be processed online this year due to Covid. Please do not send cash or check to school.

Third grade is continuing their service project collecting tabs for the Ronald McDonald House of Charlotte. Don’t throw out your tabs!  Tabs can be from energy drinks, soup cans, pet food or anything with a tab. 1,128 pop tabs = 1 pound

Send tabs with your student and place them in the container at the PTA desk, give to their homeroom teacher or give to any third grade student.

Each quarter tabs are brought to the Ronald McDonald House to be weighed and added to our total.

The Ronald McDonald House serves as a place for families to stay while their child faces serious medical issues. All money raised through pop tabs collections helps offset the amount that families are able to contribute.
