School Picture Orders and Retakes
School picture orders are due October 2 (unless you want your student to get retakes). Proofs and ordering information came home in your student’s backpack this week. If you would like to have your student’s picture retaken, please email the office at st.patricklincolnschool@cdolinc.net. Retake Day is on October 16.
If you have three or more students, your 3rd and following picture packages (of equal or lesser value) are free. The deal applies to families who have all of their students at St. Patrick, and families who have students here and at Pius, since they use the same picture company. Ordering via the paper order form is the easiest way to take advantage of this deal!
