Dear Class of 2027 Families,
In case you didn't know, Focal Point—which has handled our composites in the past—is no longer providing this service. They are in the process of selling their building in downtown Farmington and are exiting the high school senior composite business. Please note that Focal Point's Plymouth location is still open and available if you wish to book private senior pictures through them. However, moving forward, our official school senior portraits and composites will be handled by Lifetouch.
With that in mind, senior portrait dates have been scheduled for Thursday, August 20, and Friday, August 21, in the PAC Assembly Hall.
Important Note: This initial photo session is completely free of charge and will fulfill both your student's Yearbook and Senior Composite photo requirements.

Dear Class of 2027 Families,

Important Note: This initial photo session is completely free of charge and will fulfill both your student's Yearbook and Senior Composite photo requirements.
Because the composite is a major part of our graduation traditions, it is incredibly important that all seniors participate. Please note the following details as you plan ahead:
-
Last Chance Makeup Date: If your student absolutely cannot make the August dates, a final makeup day will be scheduled for Wednesday, September 30th.
We strongly encourage all students to try to attend one of the August sessions if possible. Thank you for your help as we transition to this new process and prepare to celebrate your student's senior year!
Best regards,
Sean P. Horgan
