In an effort to give you information about the portrait studio, please see the email below from the
Indicator Yearbook Editors-in-Chief regarding health and safety information. They continue to work with ways to take photos and are aware along with the administration of concerns. I will continue to update you on information as it becomes available
throughout this process.
Dear Parents,
Thank you for being patient with us as we manage the logistics of senior portraits! We understand your concerns regarding the studio safety procedures, so we have compiled a file with procedure notes, as well
as a Q&A document (which we will continue to update):
Quick Notes:
1. The maximum occupancy is 8 people, including studio staff and photographers. Parents are not allowed inside because we want to minimize density.
2. Temperature will be checked; all students are required to remain 6 feet apart at all times (as denoted by tape placements on the floor).
3. Photographers and staff will be masked at all times.
4. Students must be masked when moving between stations.
5. Students will only be unmasked when taking the portrait. They will be separated from other students with a sheet of plastic.
6. All shared clothing is sanitized with UV exposure and disinfectant immediately following use.
Updates: Approximately 300 students have already been photographed or have registered.
Regarding Self-Submissions: We will be allowing self-submissions, but at the moment, we are focusing solely on those taking portraits in-person. After we receive all official portraits, we will be cross-referencing
the company's list with our senior masterlist to identify students who have not taken their portrait. Then, we will be reaching out to those students with a procedure for how to self-submit.
Please check
this
link if you intend on taking official portraits. The company will be opening more time slots in late January, but since they will only be able to update one week in advance, we suggest registering now to ensure that you are guaranteed a spot. We have guaranteed
that there will be enough time after-school time slots for all students who have indicated in our survey that they will be taking January portraits, but if all students wait until the last week to register, there will not be enough spaces left. Combined with
during-school times, there are more than enough spaces to accommodate all students! Please let us know if this poses any difficulties, and we will do our best to work around your situation.
Availability for January 18 is currently open (it is Martin
Luther King Jr. Day, so there will be no school that Monday); sign up for morning/afternoon sessions if you can!
Again, we thank you for your patience as we maneuver these difficult circumstances. We will continue to update Ms. Ingram throughout this process, especially when we get to self-submissions. Please
feel free to email us at
indicator2021@gmail.com if you have further questions or concerns!
Best wishes,
Katie and Margaret”
Thank you for helping us convey this message to parents, Ms. Ingram! We are grateful for your support through this.
