Buenas tardes padres / tutores de primer año,

Lifetouch tomará fotografías en el lado de la escuela de Ashbury Avenue. Los estudiantes llegarán durante su período de tiempo programado y entrarán en el camino de entrada al frente de la escuela. Se les pide a los estudiantes que usen una máscara al salir de su vehículo y solo se les pedirá que se la quiten para tomar la foto. Todos los estudiantes recogerán sus identificaciones inmediatamente después de que se tomen la foto. Los estudiantes regresarán a sus vehículos y saldrán del campus.
No se permitirá que los estudiantes tomen fotografías con una máscara ni sombreros.
Para mantener el distanciamiento social y proteger la seguridad de todos los participantes, hemos establecido un horario en el que los estudiantes pueden venir y tomar sus fotografías.
El horario es el siguiente:
8: 00-9: 00 am A-Benton
9: 00-10: 00 am Berry-Cordero
