Senior Yearbook Portraits
September 9th to 11th
 
You must also bring a sitting fee of $20.00 for the photographer to cover the cost of the proofs you will receive.  Please be advised that this year, in addition to the cap and gown poses (4) and the formal yearbook poses (4), the photographer will also be taking (4) casual photos.  So, please be prepared with your favorite outfit.
 
If there is a problem with this list and/or you dont see your name, please contact me as soon as possible at:
                        pcarris@yonkers.ypschools.org
 
If you cannot make this appointment, a parent must contact me before September 1st so that other arrangements can be made.  This must be taken very seriously because it also affects the timely delivery of your yearbooks.
 
VERY IMPORTANT
As you can see, the schedule is very tight.  Please make sure that you are ON TIME for your scheduled appointment.
 
Thank you in advance for your cooperation
