Jostens takes school pictures; alternate plans for those at home
Emails sent to families through Jostens PIX let them know a photographer would be on campus Wednesday to take the first round of school photos for student IDs and yearbook faces pages.
Upper School photos will take place on Oct. 7 (8 a.m. to 3 p.m.) for Grades 9-10; with grades 11-12 photos scheduled for Oct. 21 in Redleaf Commons.
Faculty are invited to attend whichever day works best for them. For Upper School students and faculty remaining in Distance Learning, Jostens has created a process for families to submit personal portraits of their students for the purposes of yearbook publication and student IDs. Please contact US Assistant Aja Parham for more information.
