Spring Picture Day

May 4th is spring picture day.   With over 100 backgrounds and multiple poses to choose from you can build lasting memories with a fresh, different and new look.   It’s like taking your student to a private studio to have their school pictures taken.  It is a whole new experience with tons of options.  One of the newest features is the option to take their photo with a friend.  Or, you may want to include your student’s photo on a key fob, a door hanger, bookmarks, a ruler, a pocket calendar and more.  Maybe you want the background to be a spring day, an athletic setting, or an iconic fun background.  You can have fun with it and create memories that will last a lifetime.   To enjoy the full experience we recommend you visit www.lifetouchx1.info.   To browse the backgrounds click on the window to the right of the startup video. 
   
To have your student’s picture taken YOU MUST PRE-PAY.   An order form will be sent home with your student in a few weeks.  It will provide detailed instructions on how to order using the paper form or online.  Although you can use the paper order form, we recommend you order online.  When you order online the background options are more diverse.  Ordering online is simple, easy and it makes the experience on picture day quick and fast—it makes pre-paying extremely easy. 

As we race through the school year, the time is fast approaching for our first administration of the STATE of TEXAS ASSESSMENT of ACADEMIC READINESS (STAAR), and in order for our school to Set the P.A.C.E., we must utilize the combined efforts of our students, parents, and educators in a manner like never before. The challenge before us is great, yet we are poised to succeed because at Connally, "Failure Is Not An Option" for any student on any item, test, challenge, or day. Parents, please remind your children daily of the importance of staying focused on instruction, and closely monitor their performance to insure that they are completing all assignments. Please contact teachers as needed with questions or to request additional support.
As testing season dawns, I am confident that working together, we can continue the Connally tradition of academic excellence.
