The class of 2021 is facing a senior fall like no other. Fully virtual and socially distanced, certain aspects to the year have been up in the air. Here’s important and urgent information on things like senior portraits and SATs.

Senior Pictures

Senior pictures will be taken on September 8, 9, 10, and 11 from 3:30 PM -9:00 PM. Students will get a card in the mail from LifeTouch with their assigned date and multiple time slots from which to choose. Students will then select one of those time slots to schedule their appointment online.

There is no required black ensemble this year, students must provide their own outfits. The school stated, “It is suggested that young men wear a collared shirt and tie. In addition, a suit coat or jacket is preferred, but optional. It is suggested that young women wear a solid colored blouse or dress. No t-shirts or strapless tops.”

The portraits will be taken in the South Lakes Auditorium, like usual, and students will undergo health screening before taking pictures. Students must wear a mask. Masked photographers will only work with one student per time slot and will not make any contact with the students.

Virtual Events

Counselors will be doing a senior student presentation to go over the year and college applications on Tuesday September 1, at – 1-2pm . Seniors will receive a link to their email from Naviance to join.

Seniors will have Individual Senior Mini-Meetings with counselors in 20 minute time blocks on September 3 and 4 at 8:30 AM-12 PM and then 1 PM -3 PM. A sign up genius link will be sent to the seniors through Naviance.
