What will Picture Day look like?
Picture Day will take place in the Gym throughout the day. Students will come at an assigned time with their class for their individual portraits. Students will receive a QR code that when scanned will take parents to a picture portal, register your email address and you will receive an email when your images have been loaded into your portal! If you have questions regarding this process, please click here.
What do I wear for Fall Pictures?
Students in all grades should wear their full dress uniform for both individual portraits as well as class pictures. Please refer to the Parent/Student Handbook for any questions. Hair should be neatly combed and presentable. Parents, please note that due to scheduling some younger students will be having their pictures taken after recess. It is important to remind them to try and have their hair neat and their uniform straight, on their own as we are limited in how much we can assist them.

How do I order my child’s pictures?
Great news! You can choose to preorder your child’s pictures or you can wait until you received your proofs. To Pre-order simply follow the steps below.
- Scan the QR code on the paper your child brings home
- enter your email address
- you will receive an email when your child’s pictures are loaded in the portal
or
- Visit Hayne Photography and enter your code or keyword.
No need to pre-order
Not to worry! Pictures do not have to be pre-ordered! When your child comes home from Picture Day they will have a piece of paper with a QR Code that is specific to their portrait. Simply scan this QR Code and you will be directed to the ordering page. You will be prompted to input your email address. If you do not see your child’s portrait yet that means that it is still processing and you will receive an email notification when it is ready.
During the initial ordering window, parents can either select school delivery, or home shipping (they pay for shipping and handling). After the school delivery deadline is reached, parents can still order, but it would be home shipping required from that point on.
Images are active for the length of the school season – pictures taken in the fall will still be available to purchase even in the spring.
I can’t find my child’s picture! Help!
If you received your email or have the access code and you are still unable to view your child’s picture please contact Hayne Photography directly for assistance.
And Remember, Saints…
