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@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.
