A very high volume of Senior Pictures and Grad Ads have been turned in. We are keeping track as we process hundreds of orders. The deadline date was last week and we will create a list of names to post on our web page verifying that photos have been submitted, orders placed for yearbooks and Grad Ads. We will contact anyone who is missing a Senior Portrait, or has a problem with their order. Please DO NOT contact photo studios or Eastview’s Main Office at this time. The Verification List is being prepared now and will soon be available for you to check. A notification that the list has been posted will be announced as soon as we can possibly provide the information. Thanks for your patience.
