Parents/students, if you want full size copies of any of the uploaded photos (or a entire album/event), please contact your instructors and they’ll pass the request on to the appropriate person. We encourage you to contact us instead of just downloading what’s on the web, since the uploaded photos have been reduced in size to save space. If you are going to print the pictures or use them as wallpaper, it’s best to have the full quality photo!
