The back-to-school season is a reminder to schedule Picture Day

The back-to-school season is in full swing, with kids across the country heading back to classrooms for a fun-filled year of education and memorable experiences. For the littlest learners just starting preschool, this is an exciting time to take a step toward independence and enjoy making new friends and bonding with their school family. As a preschool director, you get just as excited as the students, as everyone settles into a fresh routine full of possibilities.

There is so much to do at the start of the school year, it's easy to get lost in the chaos. It's important to take a step back and strive to stay organized and ahead of the curve, because there is so much going on in those first months of school. School pictures are one event you won't want to forget as it's a wonderful tradition that provides families a convenient and beautiful way to document their child's growth each year.
