Picture Retake Day and Club Picture Day is November 04, 2025! Picture retakes are not open to all students. Please review the Guidelines for Retake Day:
Any students that are new since September 22nd or absent on September 22nd need to be photographed for the yearbook, synergy and student ID cards.
Any students that purchased a picture packet who would like a retake must return the picture package to the photographer on retake day- this will also serve as their pass out of class to have their picture retaken. There is not a “pre-order” option for retakes. Parents can view the proof at www.leonards.com/order under the “find my school” option a few weeks after the photo day, and a paper Second Chance proof will either be sent to the school to go home with students or it will be emailed to parents.
Club picture times are attached.
This week is Red Ribbon Week! 💪 Students can take part in themed dress-up days to celebrate living drug free. Don’t forget, dress code rules still apply!
