West Families: Starting now, all students should have their ID ready to show when entering school and visible at all times throughout the day. We’re not here to check a box or add another rule. We’re here because we listened to our children. They told us something simple but powerful, that safety isn’t a detail. It’s everything. When our kids feel safe, they can focus, grow, and thrive. That’s why we’re placing a renewed focus on something small that makes a big difference - wearing student IDs.
It’s a simple action that helps staff and security know who should be in the building and allows us to respond quickly if something’s not right. This isn’t about control, it’s about community. When our students wear their IDs with pride, they’re showing that they care about their school, their classmates, and their own safety.
Thank you for reinforcing this expectation at home. It’s a small daily habit that helps keep our schools safe, welcoming, and connected.
Picture Retakes are scheduled for 10/24/2025.
1. Any student wishing to have a retake should bring their original picture package to exchange for the retake image.
2. When you order online, you will receive a camera pass via email. This can either be printed or texted to the student and brought to picture day. The photographer will photograph the printed camera pass along with your student.
3. If a student is not able to print their camera pass, that is not a problem. They will match up the student to their order manually in the production process.
4. Parents may order from the flyer up until 24 hours after picture day.
5. When pictures are returned to school, all students that purchased pictures will receive their prepaid package. Any student that was photographed but did not order a package, will receive a "Proof" (PX) of their picture that was taken on picture day.
All proof packages offer parents a second opportunity to order prints. All orders are subject to shipping and handling costs of up to $8.50 and will be shipped directly to home.
