Order School Pictures Today! Picture day is 9/13

9/4/2024 8:29 pm

School Picture Day is Friday, September 13th

Order your pictures here! Orders due by 5pm on 9/13 (late orders will incur a processing fee).

 

Its picture time! Did you know that in addition to capturing this snapshot in time of your child, school pictures also support our school and enable additional programming and staff appreciation efforts? Orders must be in by picture day in order to avoid additional processing fees and can be ordered following the steps below. 

  1. Go to www.coffeepond.com and click on the big red button that says “Order School Portraits and shop our exclusive products”.
  2. Using the drop-down menu, select the city and state where your school is located, then select the name of your school.
  3. Enter your child’s information, including full first name (as it appears in the school’s registry).
  4. Select your packages and add them to your cart.
  5. If you have more than one child attending this school, click “Order for Another Child” and repeat the steps above.
  6. Once you’ve added packages to your cart for all your children, you’re ready to check out! Follow the prompts to enter your contact and billing information. Once all your information has been entered and you’ve reviewed your order, just be sure to click “Submit Order”!

Please note that all students will receive a free class photo. However, due to a change in processes by Coffee Pond, the class photos will be sent with the Retake Packages. Thus, the initial set of photos you receive for your child will NOT include a class photo. This will be distributed later in the fall.
