It is time for School Picture Day! Cyber Village will be holding our school picture day on Monday, September 29th between 8:30 and 11:00 am. Picture order forms will be sent home with students next week. If your child does not hand you their picture order form, please ask them for it! They can also pick up a new order form in the office if needed.    

Pictures can also be ordered online. Visit www.mylifetouch.com and enter in our picture day ID: MI194038Y0. Order pictures and print the receipt to hand to the photographer on picture day.

Even if your student is not ordering pictures for purchase, they will still have their photo taken for their school ID card and for the yearbook. PASCAL students are encouraged to attend picture day as well! PASCAL students can come to the school at any time during our picture day time to get their photo taken. If you have any questions about picture day, please contact Melissa in the school office.
