   Class of 2015 Senior Portraits

During homeroom on May 9, 2014, all juniors were given a letter from Lifetouch/Prestige Portraits regarding their senior yearbook portrait.  The following items were included in the letter:

1. Students must have their picture taken by Lifetouch/Prestige Portraits in order to be included in the yearbook and the senior composite that hangs in the hallway.  We cannot take pictures from 3^rd party vendors for inclusion into these items.
2. Prestige Portraits will be at FHN taking pictures in the Choir Room (room 58) the week of June 23^rd through 27^th.  You will receive an appointment card in the mail.  If for some reason you are unable to make the appointment, please call the phone number on the card.
3. There is no charge to have your yearbook picture taken.  This Basic Session includes 10-12 poses taken in your choice of one or two outfits and may include a cap and gown portrait. The first outfit needs to be your yearbook outfit and must meet the clothing requirements below. If desired, the second outfit may be whatever you would like! Please use this opportunity to customize your portraits by bringing in props that showcase your personal interests, hobbies and accomplishments.
4. Gentlemen should wear a button down shirt and tie while ladies should wear a nice blouse or sweater (no low cut tops, strapless or spaghetti straps, etc).   T-shirts, hats or sunglasses are not allowed for your yearbook photo.  Please follow the school dress code.  FHN reserves the right to exclude any photo that violates the school dress code.  Students should arrive to their sitting already dressed for their yearbook  picture and can do an outfit change during their photo session. 
5. Proofs will be mailed home along with on-line viewing information approximately 2 weeks after your photo session.  Students may choose the yearbook photo on-line or over the phone.  If you do not choose your yearbook photo, Prestige Portraits will choose one for you.  You will also have the option of purchasing photos on-line.
6. Students who have their picture taken in June will also have their student ID made from this picture.  This eliminates the need to have an ID picture taken at schedule pick-up!
7. Having ONLY your ID picture taken at schedule pick-up is not a Senior Yearbook picture.  You must attend a Senior Yearbook photo session!
8. Students who do not have their photo taken during the assigned week in June will be able to have their picture taken on a make-up day.  Two make up days have been scheduled during the fall on days where there is no school.   They are August 29 and September 19.  Students who do not have their portrait on one of these dates will not be in the yearbook.
9. If you have any questions please contact Prestige Portraits at 636-438-0829.   6/27 Kearns
