View your School Portraits, and select your yearbook/class picture before Retake Day!
To view your school portraits look for an email sent to you by “Visual Image Photography”, or go to vipis.com (student ID number may be required).
If a retake picture is needed, do not select a yearbook picture. Retake pictures will be taken on Tuesday, October 1st. This is only for students who have a need for a new picture or have not yet taken a Yearbook Portrait this year (all students must have a current portrait in order to appear in this year’s yearbook). Retake day photos will be added to your online image gallery and you’ll receive an email alert with new photos about a week after retake day.
The final deadline to select a yearbook picture is November 9th for underclass students and seniors who only have photos that were taken at school on fall school picture day.
The selection deadline for Seniors who had a VIP Premier Session is also November 9th.
After these dates, VIP will choose a yearbook image for you.
For assistance with ordering email support@vipis.com.
