Students-Don’t be a blank spot in the yearbook! School picture day is on Wednesday, September 18, 2024. School portraits will be taken by BPI Photography and are a great way to preserve your child’s school memories. These pictures also serve as a school fundraiser, so please remember to participate.

Order forms may be sent home with your student, but for those who wish to order online using a debit or credit card, click our school’s prepay link below to order:

Online Prepay Purchase / Credit Cards:

Cash or Check (with an order form, collected by a BPI photographer)

a. ONLY accepted on Picture Day

b. Cash - Exact Change only

c. Checks made payable to: BPI Photography

Pre-Orders are available through picture day, and those packages will deliver back to the school for your child to bring home. You CAN still order pictures after picture day all-year long, but post-picture day orders ship directly home, so there will be a residential shipping charge. BPI guarantees 100% satisfaction. If you are unsatisfied, upon return of your original package, you may receive a full refund. You may also have your student retake their picture on makeup day and BPI will reorder that package for you.

Students will receive a flyer and order form Monday morning in homeroom!

Visit our photographer's website at www.bpiphotography.net or call (866) 363-6936 with questions. As always, thank you for your continued support!
