Spring Picture Day is Coming!

Friday, March 10, 2023

During PE/Health Classes

Community Center Gym

Victor O’Neill Studios (VOS) is doing things a bit different this Spring.  Picture order forms are NO longer available.  In order to staff our Spring picture day accordingly, parents/guardians are asked to complete the VOS Spring Picture Sign-up Form by Friday, March 3rd

What to Expect on Spring Picture Day

  • Only students who indicated interest using the VOS Spring Picture Sign-up Form will be photographed.   
  • The VOS photography team will take multiple images for each student that comes to the camera.

What to Expect After Picture Day 

  • Approximately one week after picture day, parents will receive an email that images are ready to view and purchase.
  • VOS is pleased to offer free shipping during a two-week period once images are online.
  • Please feel free to direct questions regarding picture day or online ordering to the VOS office: Underclass@vosphoto.com

Did you miss ordering a Fall picture package? You can order your child’s Fall picture here: Fall Portraits Ordering   Pictures can be viewed using your child’s student ID number and your email.
