Falls City School District #57

Falls City High School Picture Re-take Day is Monday, Nov. 18, 2024. Please make sure your student is prepared. We do not use a green screen, we use a Gray Screen background so you don’t have to worry about what color your child is wearing. Please think about your background color when ordering so the outfit you and your child choose does not clash nor does it become an exact match to the background color. If you are having a retake done, please make sure your student brings their original package back to the photographer so that they can see what needs to be corrected and we can retake your student's photo. Here is your direct link https://Portraitmasters3120.simplephoto.com/prepay/48575891?code=FCFCHS1024 Here is your school Code FCFCHS1024MU that you can use if you choose to go directly to Portraitmasters.com, click on Schools at the top, click on order portraits and type the code box. Envelopes will also be provided on site if you prefer to pay with cash or check. We will have envelopes with our photographers.

Attention parents, guardians, and students: Picture re-takes will be held on Monday, November 18th. If you are unsatisfied with your picture package and would like a re-take, please bring the original package with you to the photographer for an exchange.

Thanks to a partnership with Willamette ESD, Falls City High School students are able to explore careers using VR headsets for the next week. The VR simulations ranged from knee surgeries to bridge demolition and lineworkers to EMS. Students performed surgeries, climbed power poles, welded, and helped crash victims among other experiences. When you can't go to the career, the career can come to you!
