School Picture Make-Up Day

This Friday!!!

Palmetto Middle School will have school picture make-up day Friday, January 22nd for those students who did not get their school picture taken in December. These are not only beautiful portraits to keep and treasure, but also the picture for the yearbook.

In-school students will be scheduled during period 7.

MSO students should sign-up for a time slot between 4 and 5PM by using this link:

Students should wear their school shirt for the pictures.

Fox-Mar will photograph each student regardless of a package purchase.

All packages are pre-paid and must be paid for on or before Picture Day.

This is a major fundraiser for our school and we appreciate your participation.
