Still need a portrait? If you were not able to get your Lifetouch picture taken at school, we have an alternative option for you! We will provide a portal for you to upload a picture that is taken on your own. Portraits will be accepted from November 20 until December 2. Follow the instructions in this document to understand the guidelines for the photograph and how to upload it. If taken on a phone, you must upload it to a computer to rename it. The photograph must be renamed in the correct format before uploading it to the Josten's portal. Check out this photo tip sheet for tips on taking a usable photo. You will need the ID 415463794 to access the site. If you have any questions email wayako.people@gmail.com.

Lifetouch will be available in their studio for photos on December 5. If interested in a professional photo, email Nikki Wilson to set up an appointment time with Lifetouch.
