All Seniors: Seniors must schedule a time to have their yearbook photo taken with Prestige portraits before December 1st. You may call (972) 669-9200 or visit prestigeportraits.com to schedule an appointment. All portrait sessions for yearbook photos are free, but the appointments book up quickly, so make sure to schedule a time soon. There will be a senior portrait day on campus on Nov. 28th from 8 am to 4 pm, but seniors that opt to have their photo taken during that time will only have the opportunity to have one photo taken. The best way to ensure that you have a senior portrait for the yearbook that you love is to book a photo session at a Prestige Portrait studio. If you have any questions, please contact Mrs. Latvatalo at latvataloj@cfbisd.edu.
