PHOTO LIFE
Your parents have been emailed their child’s unique Key Code to go online to view and purchase 2022 School Photos. ***FREE DELIVERY EXPIRES Midnight Sunday 18TH SEPTEMBER*** If you could send out communication to your parents as they might need to keep an eye on their trash / spam folder.
I have attached the master list of the School’s Key Codes in case you do get any queries from parents who did not receive their child’s Key Code. The Staff Key Codes are also included for those who have had a portrait photo taken and want to order their complimentary pack.
We are currently matching the student’s names to their class photos and you will receive a copy to check everything is correct shortly. Please be aware that we are (as with all other businesses) experiencing high levels of absenteeism due to Covid. We will not print any orders or photos until we have the school’s approval that everything is correct and OK to go ahead.
You will receive your School’s Complimentary copies and USB of the Staff and Student images to load onto your Student Manager System as normal, when we despatch the orders to you for distribution to your students.
Please feel free to contact us if you have any queries.
WHY IS PHOTOLIFE EMAILING KEYCODES THIS YEAR?
Easier and more efficient for Parents – Hi PhotoLife, Thank you for the email. I have missed out on previous school photos due to not receiving the order form in previous years, but this was a seamless and much easier process, it was amazing!
Free Delivery Expiry Date is highlighted in the email
No administration needed by School Office or Teachers in handing out codes
Emails sent by a “real person” so any queries emailed back from parents are resolved quickly by PhotoLife
100% more environmentally friendly – minimising paper; printing inks and printing process
This year a higher number of Students are Absent so this system does ensure the Key Code gets to the parents regardless
Less chance of transmission of Covid Virus on physical paper
Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.
– 2 Corinthians 9:7
