Picture Retake Day
Picture Retake Day is Tuesday, Oct. 24
A Make Up/Retake Day will be scheduled in an effort to capture and preserve all of your schools smiles and allow parents to take advantage of our 100% satisfaction guarantee program.
Any student that wishes to have their photo retaken must return all of the contents (except for group pictures) from their original portrait package including the envelop to the photographer on make-up day,Because class group pictures will not be retaken, the student will need to remove this picture from the portrait package. (Composite pictures will not be included with the original day picture packages.) New students, students absent on the original picture day or those who want to order additional packages can also have their pictures taken on make up day.
Parent customer service If parents have comments or concerns regarding their child’s portraits, please contact Life'touch customer service department at 1-866-955-8342 or 808-456-4333.
Read Aloud
In an era of high-stakes testing and education reforms and revolutions, research has repeatedly proved that one simple parenting technique is among the most effective. Children who are read aloud to by parents get a head start in language and literacy skills and go to school better prepared.
"Reading aloud to young children, particularly in an engaging manner, promotes emerging literacy and language development and supports the relationship between child and parent," concludes a review in this month's Archives of Disease in Childhood.
In other words, reading that bedtime story may not only entertain and soothe your child, it may also develop vocabulary, improve ability to learn to read, and - perhaps most important - foster a lifelong love of books and reading.
