SAVE THE DATE-Picture Day MONDAY, November 6th:  Monday, November 6th is picture day at Craig High.  Our 12th grade has a little different process than the rest of our grades so here are a few things you need to know: 

FOR 12th Graders- Dress to impress.  If you do wear a suit and tie, you can always change after the pictures.  Senior Parents WILL ORDER ONLINE AFTER PICTURES ARE TAKEN.  Do NOT place an order beforehand.  All seniors will have 2 different portraits taken - with and without a cap/gown - which will then be posted online for your approval. You will receive instructions for placing your orders when you receive proofs of the portraits. Till then, here is a pic of last year’s 12th graders on Picture Day to inspire our current seniors. 

9th, 10th, and 11th Graders- Order forms will be coming home this week (with the 1st-trimester progress reports).  These order forms are for grades 9, 10 & 11 ONLY. You have two options.  You can complete the order form and return it with payment by Picture Day or you may order online by:

• Going to www.mylifetouch.com
• On the left, you will see a box that says “Order Your School Pictures”
• Below that enter the Craig High specific Picture ID code which is EVTGMSPCR  
• Click on SHOP NOW
• Then a window will open where you enter STUDENT's First and Last Name and Grade
• Choose your package, pick your background color, and you are good to go!

We do have a picture retake day scheduled in December for any students who are absent or would just like a do-over. All our students will be getting their pictures taken regardless of ordering pics or not.  We need to create student IDS for the new school year so as we tell our students, if you are going to have to get your picture taken anyway, you might as well look good! So on the Friday prior to picture day, we will have our annual “Tie Tying” Clinic where we will teach the fine art of just that! Any questions about the Lifetouch website, ordering pictures, or picture day itself reach out to our Picture Day Coordinator, Mrs. Tartaglia at KTartaglia@craigschool.org

Craig High Annual “Great Pumpkin” 2023: Last week was “idea” week where students and teachers alike did their research to see what’s the latest craze in Pumpkin design!  This week is all about picking out your pumpkin and visualizing your pumpkin plan.  Entries can be brought into school starting Monday, October 30th so that preceding weekend is perfect carving time!  On Tuesday, October 31st, we will hold a CHS Community vote to designate “The Great Pumpkins” for 2023!  In our pumpkin gallery below, you will find pictures of a few pumpkins that have made the Great Pumpkin Hall of Fame representing the Pumpkin Class of 2021.

PACS HS Parent Membership Drive 2023-The Push for 100%:  Our goal for this school year is for 100% of our CHS families to be a part of PACS.  This essential school community group supports so many amazing opportunities to celebrate our students and teachers throughout the school year.  Since our last outreach, we have climbed to almost 50% of Craig High families joining so we are getting closer!  For those who have not joined, you can find the PACS membership under the COMMUNITY RESOURCES tab on our school website (https://www.craigschool.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/New-Membership-Form-HS.pdf).   Let’s make it happen for our kids and teachers.
