Senior portrait information
by Ingram Realdina 10 Dec '20

10 Dec '20

Good evening parents and guardians of seniors, Your children received the following information from the Indicator Yearbook staff. The survey is for the seniors to fill out, not parents. Please, however, read the following information. Please feel free to reach out with any questions. Dina Please read the message below from The Indicator with important information regarding senior portraits. Make sure to fill out the form here<https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fforms.gle…> as soon as possible after reading through the message to indicate your plans for your portrait! Hi seniors, Regarding the senior portraits sign-up that was sent out earlier this week, you may sign up for an appointment if you feel comfortable doing so. However, if you feel uncomfortable leaving the house at this time or are unavailable in December, Mr. Lonardo has emailed the portraits company about appointments in January. We will share new time slots as soon as we receive updates. If you are unable to leave the house at all, we will be working on a plan for a photographer to take your senior portrait at your house. To summarize, there will be 4 options available to you: 1. Round 1 (December): Take portraits with PortraitsUSA via this link: https://SeniorPortraitsScheduling.as.me/STUY<https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fseniorpor…> 2. Round 2 (Late January): Take portraits with PortraitsUSA at a later date. If possible, please avoid pushing off your portraits to Round 2, as we will not be able to guarantee an appointment if all appointments in Round 2 are filled. 3. At-Home Photographer (Tentative): If you are unable to leave your house, we may send a photographer to you to take a professional photo. (Please note that this option will be more expensive than getting photographed at the studio.) 4. If the aforementioned options are not viable for you, you will not be photographed. Your name will appear in the yearbook, but no portrait will appear in the formal senior section. We will not be accepting self submissions. Some important notes: * You will not be excused from class to take your portrait, but if you have a free period and can travel to the studio site, feel free to sign up for the morning or afternoon. Otherwise, there are times available after school. * The 2nd and 3rd options are still tentative, but we will keep you updated as soon as we hear back from the administration and the portrait company. We will work with the company to try to offer time slots during weekends and over break. * The sitting fee ($10.00) does not include physical copies of your portrait. Those must be purchased separately (and will be available 2-3 weeks after you take your portrait). If you opt to have a photographer come to your house, the fee will be greater. * If this is a financial burden, please indicate so in the form below. We will do our best to help alleviate any stress. * If you have questions about refunds or concerns regarding safety protocols, please also indicate in the form below. Please submit this MANDATORY Google Form to indicate your plans for senior portraits: https://forms.gle/D3biranT964nNrHW6<https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fforms.gle…>. This will help us guarantee that every senior is accounted for. (There is a section in the form for any questions/concerns, as well as a section to indicate if you have financial difficulties. We will contact you for further instructions.) The Editors-in-Chief (Katie and Margaret) will be visiting the PortraitsUSA studio in-person to report on their safety protocols. We will be writing a procedure to let you know what to expect, so please be on the lookout for that sometime next week! If you have questions, please reach out to indicator2021(a)gmail.com<mailto:indicator2021@gmail.com>.

On Behalf of the Indicator Yearbook EICs
by Ingram Realdina 08 Dec '20

08 Dec '20

Dear Senior families: Please see the message below on behalf of the Editors-in-Chief of the The Indicator Yearbook related to the senior photo email you received yesterday. We will update you later in the week with more details s they become available. All the best, Dina Dear parents, We apologize on behalf of the Stuyvesant Indicator for the miscommunication regarding senior portraits. We were not informed in advance about the email that was distributed tonight, as we did not have prior notice that portraits were already finalized. Personally, we (the Editors-in-Chief) strongly discourage signing up to take portraits at the moment, considering the recent spike in virus cases. We were not notified that PortraitsUSA would be releasing a sign-up link, as we have never been in contact with them. However, if you are comfortable going to the site (and/or have already signed up), PortraitsUSA will be our official portrait company and will be glad to take your child's senior portrait. We are currently in touch with the Student Union, Senior Caucus, and school administration to implement a safer system to take and collect senior portraits, with more detailed guidelines and information. We have not yet received a response, but we will update Ms. Ingram as soon as we hear from our faculty advisor. Again, we apologize profusely for the sudden email. You may continue to sign up for portraits with PortraitsUSA, though we discourage it. Make-up photos will be available later in the year. If you are on the fence about it, please postpone signing up, as we are working on a better alternative for you. Hopefully, we will be able to provide updates sometime this week, as we understand that this is stressful for everyone. Thank you so much for your patience and understanding! We will do our best to work with the administration to implement a safer and more convenient alternative. Best wishes, Katie and Margaret The Stuyvesant Indicator Ms. Dina Ingram Director of Family Engagement Stuyvesant High School 347-224-6673 cell 212-312-4800 ext. 2731 office (M-F 8am-4pm) ringram3(a)schools.nyc.gov<mailto:ringram3@schools.nyc.gov> www.stuy.edu<http://www.stuy.edu> Read my Blog<https://talos.stuy.edu/hera/blog/feed> on talos.stuy.edu<http://talos.stuy.edu> Follow Stuyvesant on Facebook<https://www.facebook.com/StuyNYC/> @StuyNYC or Twitter<https://twitter.com/StuyNY> @StuyNY or Instagram<https://www.instagram.com/stuyvesanths_nyc/?hl=en> @Stuyvesanths_NY “This email message is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential or privileged information.
