PICTURE DAY IS JANUARY 14TH

So many things are different this year, but one thing remains the same - class pictures!  We want your child's picture in this year's yearbook! 


Thursday, January 14 will be Picture Day for our Face to Face and School@Home Learners. While individual pictures are optional, students who do not come to school to have their pictures taken on picture day by Lifetouch will not be included in the student portrait section of the yearbook.  Please note that this does NOT mean students will not be included in candid photos!


School@Home:

Sign-up for an appointment using THIS LINK.


A few things to know beforehand:

  • Anyone who visits the campus must wear an appropriate mask over the nose and mouth and follow social distancing guidelines (staying 6 feet away from others while waiting). 
  • Students will be required to remove their mask when instructed by the Lifetouch photographer for their picture and then put the mask back on. 
  • More details will be provided prior to January 14.


Face2Face and School@Home:


All students are expected to remain in Plano ISD dress code compliance when having pictures taken.
