• Students who did not receive their pictures please stop in the main office to pick them up.

• If any student is interested in participating in the Science Olympiad competition at USI in February, please come see Mrs. Martens in room B119 sometime this week. There are trivia events, engineering events, and hands-on lab events that encompass all areas of science. Participation looks great on college and scholarship applications!

• Picture Retake Day: December 12th starting at 10:00 am. Retakes are super easy!  Here is some of the basic info:

1.  Students do not need to notify ahead of time if they are getting retakes.

2.  If a student ordered a picture package on the original day, and they are getting a retake due to dissatisfaction, they just need to bring their package back on retake day and hand it to the photographer.  They will retake the photo, let them see it, and do an even trade(reorder the same package with the new image at no charge).  But they must return the package to get the new one.  If someone happens to forget their package at home, we will still photograph them, they will just be marked as no package until they return the original.

3.  There will be no new hardcopy order forms sent for retakes, but if someone is being photographed for the first time and is wanting to order, they need to use the online order code on the pdf I"m attaching--it's a different code than what was used on the original day.

4.  If someone was photographed on the original picture day, but didn't order a package, and

is just wanting a retake for yearbook purposes, that's fine too.  We do ask they give a valid reason for the retake though, just so that it doesn't get out of hand. 

• Prom is April 20, 2024 at USI in Carter Hall 8:00-11:00 pm
