Acorn Campus pre-order forms for class pictures have been sent home for Pre-K through 6th grade and 7-12 will receive theirs today. Picture day is January 12 shortly after we return from the break. If you want to order the Memory Mate package, you must send your order envelope the day of the photo session. Only students that have the pre-paid order will be individually photographed, but all students will be in their class picture. We can backorder class pictures after the day, but cannot go back and order the special since your child will not have had their individual picture taken. Some parents like the Memory Mate option in lieu of ordering a Tiger Yearbook which is still available for $48 until December 31. The price will increase to $53 after the new year. Should you have any questions about ordering pictures or a yearbook you can contact Glynda Pearce at 479-394-5544 ext. 106 or gpearce@orsd.k12.ar.us or text 479-234-0614.
