Picture Day, Monday September 23

Dallin School Picture Day is on Monday, September 23rd. You will receive an order form from Coffee Pond Photography in your child’s backpack shortly and extra forms will be available in the office. You can order photos two ways: fill out the order form and return it with payment to your child’s teacher on or before picture day OR order photos online, in advance, at coffeepond.com. Here is the Online Ordering Guide - Dallin Elementary School 2024.pdf. Sibling photos will not be taken this year.
Students who do not order photos will still receive a class photo. If you have questions, you may email Coffee Pond at lifeguards@coffeepond.com or call them at (800) 632-2323, Ext. 0.
To have a smooth day we are asking for volunteers. Please email with your availability: early (8:20 a.m. to ~10:30 a.m.) or late (10:30 a.m. to ~12:30. p.m.) or all day. You may also contact the picture coordinator at tanya.ozbey@gmail.com.
