Picture Retakes on Nov. 20th:

If your child missed Picture Day on October 15 & 16, OR would like to have their photo retaken, school picture retakes will take place the morning of Thursday, November 20th. 

  • If you already ordered photos but your child wasn't at school on picture day, you don't need to do anything. Your child will have their picture taken November 20th.
  • If your child is having retakes, please have them bring their original photo packet to school on November 20th to return to the photographers. There is no cost for retakes unless you are planning to keep the original photo packet too, in which case you will need to place another order for the new photos using the blue button below.
  • If you order from the link , a photo will be taken of your student on November 20th. These orders must be made by 10pm the day BEFORE picture day.
This link is not for the original photos that were taken October 15 & 16. If you would like to order more of the original photos, please use the form enclosed in the photo packet you have already received. 

If you have any questions, please email KIDS Photography at Hello@KIDSschoolPhotos.com
