Announcements

Picture Retake/Make Up Day is September 28th!
This is a final chance to take a school portrait and appear in this year’s yearbook/composite.

  • Before Retake Day, view your student photos online, and select which image you want to appear in this year’s yearbook/composite, by clicking the link that was emailed to you by "Visual Image Photography", or by going to vipis.com to search for your photos.

  • If you attend retake day be sure to return to the same gallery about a week after retakes to view your new photos and reselect your yearbook image.

  • All yearbook image selections must be made within two weeks after Retake Day or VIP will choose one for you.

  • If you cannot find your images or have any questions, please contact VIP at support@vipis.com with your student information.

The 2022-23 school year free and reduced lunch application is here! Please take a moment to apply for benefits, if you haven't already, by using the new Meal Magic Portal. This portal will also be used to add money to student accounts using the sendmoneytoschool feature. Please know that the FDA will not be covering the cost of breakfast and lunch this school year, so this application is even more important!

THIS MUST BE COMPLETED BY SEPTEMBER 24TH - NO EXCEPTIONS!

SERVICE HOURS FAQ:


Returning students who do not have their service hours turned in by the end of August for all previous school years will not be eligible to go to the Homecoming Dance. This does not impact new students or incoming freshmen, only returning students. These students who do not have their hours completed received an email earlier this week.

Now is the time to plan for senior pictures, if you have not already done so! Traditionally, these photos are taken early in senior year, so that by January 15th, everyone has chosen proofs and your final selection has been submitted to the yearbook. For our yearbook, one color wallet-size print or digital file (approx. 2” wide x 3” high or larger) is needed by JANUARY 15, 2023. Your photographer should send these to dmielcarek@sienacatholicschools.org, or you can bring the photo in yourself. OR… You (or the photographer) also may submit a digital picture on a flash drive, or email it (as an attachment). Make sure digital pictures are high-resolution, at least 300 dpi.

Fall picture day was held on August 22nd. Afterwards, you’ll be able to select your image for your yearbook (please remember to do so before it’s selected for you!), and all orders will be delivered to your home.

To view and order photos from Picture Day:
You will receive an email when your images are ready to view online.
Or, you can search for them at vipis.com shortly after photos are taken.
If you need further assistance, contact VIP at support@vipis.com.

Students are encouraged to bring in their old uniforms and SCHS Spirit Wear to Campus
Ministry to help our families in need!

Please reach out to Mrs. Dahlgren with any questions.

Please bring your gently used clothing items to
Room 123 or reach out to O'B for pick up!
