Upcoming Events
Spring Picture Day
Order forms were placed in your student’s take-home folder. Additional paper forms may be found on the main floor at the information desk and in the main office.
Please note the following:
Spring pictures are generally more casual than the fall’s, so regular school day clothes, sport jerseys, etc. are fine if you so choose.
Individual photos will be taken of children who bring a completed form and full payment. There is no make-up day for Spring Photos.
No class pictures will be taken.
Extra order forms are available in the Main Office.
*Any questions can be sent to ptaps185@gmail.com.
