This year every family will receive a $30 credit off of any packages they purchase as a way to lessen the cost of the sitting fee.
The last day to be photographed is November 15, 2026.
If a family does not want to use CADY for a senior photo session (which includes the yearbook photo, the cap and gown photo, and a casual pose), there will be a yearbook-only photo shoot before the last day to be photographed. That will just be a formal picture for the yearbook without the chance to get a proof or purchase any prints.
You will receive a portfolio of pictures in the mail (unless you wait for the yearbook only shoot) and you can choose to buy some or just return the whole portfolio using the postage-paid label included in your mailing.
For the yearbook picture, we will accept one of the formal photos from CADY that's either in a tux, drape, or casual outfit that's black or black and white with the formal background.
If you have questions, please contact CADY at (704) 859-0737 or email Ms. Christensen at deb.christensen@ucps.k12.nc.us.
