PhotoTexas Student Portraits will be on campus Sept. 3 & 4 and then for retakes Oct. 22
Students can take their school portrait with PhotoTexas during the first semester by scheduling an appointment at their studio - call (512) 617-7780 to schedule an appointment.
For convenience, PhotoTexas will come to campus Sept. 3 & 4 to take portraits of students during their science class. Seniors will only take their ID picture and must schedule with PhotoTexas their senior portrait separately.
Retakes for student portraits are scheduled for Oct. 22. If a student could not make any of the on-campus dates, they MUST schedule to take a portrait at the PhotoTexas studio on their own. All pictures must be taken by winter break to ensure they are included in the yearbook.

Your portrait must be taken by winter break to for sure to be included in the yearbook. Visit the Senior Portrait info page to the left to sign up for a time slot when open or to read the FAQ.
If you would prefer to visit the Photo Texas Studio and pass on the on-campus option, call Photo Texas at 512-617-7780 to schedule an appointment. NOTE: As we approach the deadline, appointments may be limited!
If you take your portrait on or off campus, please make sure that those preferring a tux wear a white tee (Photo Texas will provide the tux), those preferring the drape wear a tank, something you can push the shoulders down on (Photo Texas will provide the drape). If neither of these works, students can wear formal black.

PhotoTexas Clubs & Organizations group pictures are on campus Dec. 4, Jan. 22 & Feb. 10, 11
Club and organization sponsors and officers can sign their group up for a time slot in on one of the three dates to take a yearbook photo. The pictures will be taken simultaneously by 3-4 photographers, so similar clubs with the same members (e.g. Science Bowl and Science Club) should NOT sign up at the same time. The groups can wear their t-shirts or gear and bring trophies, props, etc. Arrive early and on time to your slot during PIT in the main gym. Because of the time crunch, the photographers cannot wait on members. If a member is absent, there will not be retakes.

Before you write in your book
- Make sure there are 340 pages with the cover attached properly
- Check that there are no torn pages, smeared pages, discolored pages, or pages inserted upside down
- If you discover any of these flaws in printing, BEFORE you write in your book, bring it back and we can replace it. Once you have written in the book, we CANNOT replace or refund it.
- Make sure you have the supplement and any other accessories you ordered.
Put your name in your book
After checking for torn, upside down or missing pages, put your name in your book. We are saddened when books disappear, but we cannot replace lost or stolen books. A replacement book will cost $85, IF there are any overruns available. Please be careful not to leave your book laying around.
Why wasn’t that covered?
Vandegrift has had an exciting last few weeks and many things to celebrate! We are so proud of our track team, robotics team, golf teams, and all other spring sports and UIL academic championships! However, our yearbook went to press at the beginning of March before these events happened so that we could get it back and pass it out in May. Sometimes yearbooks will cover these activities in the beginning of the following year's book. The yearbook staff chooses what to cover and highlight and strives to be as comprehensive as possible in documenting the year.
About the mistakes...
Believe us, we have already found them or heard about them, and we are so sad about it. Remember, this is a student created publication, made by imperfect Vipers. We try and make every effort to produce a quality, accurate account of the year, but a few mistakes are bound to happen along the way. At this time, there is nothing that we can do. Instead, please focus on all the amazing things this student project has to offer!
