Picture Day Friday

Dragon Families,
Picture Day is scheduled for Friday, September 20th, 2024. Students taking photos may DRESS UP. No revealing clothing, no spaghetti straps, no torn pants or shorts, no sweatpants, and no revealing shorts/skirts/dresses. Shorts or dresses must be longer than fingertips with arms held at the side. A regular school uniform is acceptable but we know students might want to take advantage of this opportunity to dress up! Please note your student will be asked to change if their clothing fails to meet the above guidelines. If you need further clarification, please visit the online handbook.


You will receive a proof approximately 1 week after Picture Day so you can see your student’s photo before you decide whether to purchase bigger portraits. The photographer is offering some discounted Picture Day Specials that must be turned into them on Picture Day. Flyers were sent home with your child, if you need an extra one please email Mrs. Baca at abaca@21stcenturypa.com. Keep in mind that students will be photographed in front of a green screen, so please avoid green colored clothing and this picture will be used for the school’s yearbook.

PTA Fundraiser

Happy Friday Dragon Families! We have had a tremendous start of the year. Thank you all for your support and cooperation. Just a friendly reminder to be extra cautious when dropping off or picking up students. There is a lot of foot traffic at those times and we want everyone to be safe. 

Please remember the  PTA FUNDRAISER. Prizes are awarded to students and all proceeds help the PTA provide support for our school.

Have a great weekend. GO DRAGONS
