Notes from Mr. Barnes
Emergency Updates Come from the District First

In the event there is inclement weather or an emergency of any kind that impacts our schools, communication always comes from our central office first.  We will resend and repeat that same information but I encourage everyone to look for communications from SBISD before looking for it from Stratford.  If and when there are changes that only impact Stratford, I will share that information with you as soon as I am permitted to do so. 

Student Make-Up Portraits:

Underclassmen portrait orders: After portraits this week, students in grades 9, 10, and 11 should have brought home a slip of paper from Legacy Studios. On it, you'll find a QR code with a unique ID from the photographer. This is how you'll view and order prints! Give the studio 2-3 weeks to upload. If your student did not hang on to their slip, you'll need to contact Legacy directly by scrolling all the way down to the bottom of this page (https://legacystudios.com/) and filling out the contact form.

Portrait make-ups for ALL grades are on Friday, October 1. This is the final opportunity for all students to be photographed for the yearbook. Seniors can make appointments here OR can walk-in at any point during the day with teacher permission.  Students in grades 9-11 who would like to have their portrait taken on make-up/retake day should fill out this form (https://forms.gle/UMBd5ohLit9TGWX16) and a pass will be delivered to their Spartan Time before October 1. 

Don’t forget to order your yearbook! Book prices and Senior Ad prices will increase on October 1. All Senior Ads orders and materials are due November 1. Email us at stratfordybk@gmail.com with questions.
