Was your student absent for the original picture day? Or are you not happy with the pictures that you received? Then you are in luck! Picture Retake Day is Wednesday, Oct. 30. For initial pictures, we do have order forms in the office. If you would like one ahead of time, please contact the office. There will also be order forms available the day of.
If your student will be having their picture retaken, they MUST bring the original picture packet with them and turn them in to the photographer. If the student forgets or leaves them at home, new pictures will be taken, but they will not be released/sent out until the originals are returned.
If you have any specific questions about your photos or order, please contact Barksdale directly at 800/220-7667. For all other questions, please contact Julie Scoville in the office at 703/267-2800.
We will also need some additional parent volunteer help that day. If you are available to help with crowd control and line flow, please sign up on the link below.
