As the vibrant season of spring approaches, we're excited to announce that Spring Photo Day is March 12 and just around the corner at Owyhee Combined Schools! We wanted to share some important details about this year's process to ensure that everything runs smoothly for you and your child.
Here's what you need to know to be ready:
1. Spring Photo Day Details: Spring photos bring a fresh twist compared to our Fall sessions. Our team will be on campus to capture those wonderful springtime smiles!
2. Proof Forms: No need to worry about ordering before picture day! We'll be providing proof order forms to every student a few days after the photo session.
3. Online Ordering: This year, we're excited to offer a wider selection of choices online compared to what's available on the form. To access these options, simply log in using your student's ID. Rest assured, our images are password protected with your student's ID number for added security.
4. Backgrounds and Crops: You'll have the opportunity to choose from a variety of backgrounds and two different crops to ensure your child's photo is just perfect.
5. Ordering and Delivery: Orders placed before the deadline will be returned to the school for your convenience. Any orders made after the deadline will incur shipping costs and will be delivered straight to your home.
6. New Photo Packages: This year, we're introducing six new photo packages designed to suit every budget and preference.
7. Delivery Options: We offer flexible delivery options to accommodate your needs. You can opt for delivery to the school (slower but less expensive), free shipping to your home on orders of $55 or more, or expedited shipping for a small additional fee.
8. Pre-Registration: We encourage you to visit our webpage at addison.photo/OS-SPRING and pre-register today! By doing so, you'll be among the first to know when the images are ready, and you'll streamline the ordering process.
We understand that capturing these precious moments is important to you, and we're committed to making this experience as convenient and enjoyable as possible for you and your child.
Thank you for your cooperation and support in making our Spring Photo Day a success! If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to us.
Thanks,
Jim
