Select Your Yearbook Photo
Photo Re-Takes on October 27
Photos are live! Emails from VIP Photography have been sent with your student’s picture day proof. If you have not received an email, please click HERE to access your photos. Once you view your student’s photos, you can:
  • Select which pose will be used for the yearbook
  • Choose your customized background
  • Select your photo package
If you are not purchasing a photo package, you can still select your student’s photo for yearbooks & class composites. For students who would like to re-take their photo, VIP Photography will be back on campus on Monday, October 27. Please email Mrs. Casaletto and let her know that you’d like your student to have their photo re-taken by Friday, October 24.

Winter Uniform Reminder
 
Embers’ Winter Uniform guidelines begin this Wednesday, October 15. The winter uniform update:
  • Prohibits students from wearing shorts
  • Requires a red sweater or vest on Wednesday Mass days
Additional details on our uniform policy can be found HERE.

Labeling is Awesome!
This time of year, those famous red sweaters go missing on a daily basis. With cool mornings and warm afternoons, students routinely discarded their sweaters by lunch time and we end up with a mountain of sweaters in the lost and found. We strongly recommend that you label your student’s sweater with their name so that it can find its way back to you!

A Million Thank You’s!

As our Fall sports season wraps up, we want to extend an enthusiastic “thank you!” to our amazing coaches for so selflessly giving their time and talents. Your passion serves as an inspiration for all our Sparks!
