They must return the original photo package to the school before retake day. If a family did not purchase a package the original day & now wants to, they can print the retake flier, attach an envelope & return that to the school by retake photo day. Or if they are purchasing a sibling group photo, they will use the money envelope and send that to the school by retake day. Uniforms are optional.
