SECA is requiring all the students and staff, including extension students and parents, to have their pictures taken, so the yearbook will be uniform. Please have your child wear regular school attire for the beginning of that day and bring their gym clothes. We will have them change after their pictures are done. The pictures will be taken from 9:30-2:45. Please have your child present that day. You can purchase a digital copy of your students’ photo for $5. Please fill out the form below and return it to the school no later than January 20th. Thank you for your cooperation. In Christ, Vice Principal Kevin Rickner VPKR/bac I would like to purchase the digital copy of my child’s photo. I have included the $5 needed.
