McAvinnue's "Picture Make-Up Day"

We will host a "Picture Retake Day" on Wednesday, December 11th

Students who would like a retake just need to bring in their original package of pictures.

Additionally, students that were absent or who did not order on the original picture day can also purchase photos with a form or call O'Connor Studio's customer support line at (978) 640-6250. Online ordering is not available on retake day.

We anticipate that pictures will be taken in the morning.

If you need a picture order form, please contact or stop by the Main Office at McAvinnue.
