Falcons and families! Here's everything you need to know about school photos for the 2025-26 school year!
Students in grades 9-11
- School photos will take place Monday, Nov. 3-Thursday, Nov. 6.
- Students will get their photo taken during gym class. The gym teacher will escort all students to the third-floor balcony lobby for their photo. Please review this Google Document to determine the day and class period when your student's photo will take place.
- Every student is expected to have a school photo taken. School photos are utilized for SchoolTool, student IDs and our Albany High yearbook.
- Students should dress appropriately as outlined in the Code of Conduct for school photos.
- Students and families are welcome to order photos from Upstate Images, but it is completely optional.
- Families will receive a communication via text directly from Upstate Images with ordering instructions. Paper order forms will be available on picture days if students would like to bring one home. Families can pre-order on the Upstate Images website using the online code AlbanyHSF25.
- Families can choose to have their photos shipped to Albany High for free for pre-orders placed within 48 hours after a student's picture day. Prints will be distributed to students by Albany High staff if this option is selected. There is also an option to have prints mailed to your home for a $6 shipping fee.
- There will be a photo re-take day for our Falcons who were absent on their photo day or need a picture re-take. Stay tuned for more details.
