We love it when parents and guardians are involved in our school!
The research (and our experience) is clear. Parent involvement in a child’s education is one of the biggest predictors of his or her success. At Chapel Hill Academy we welcome open communication and the participation of parents, guardians and other family members in our educational practice.
Our administrators, teachers, and counselors welcome opportunities to share news about student growth and successes, and strategies that might help our students to succeed beyond school, at home and in the community.
Organized activities that include parents are varied, and held throughout our school year, including parent support meetings, science fairs, talent shows and showcases, and more, all open to the entire family.
Ed Zamora at Principia Prep has updated his financial aid presentation to address financial aid and college admissions in the era of COVID-19.
Parent Support Groups are conducted monthly! Please keep an eye out for news and invitations so that you can be an active participant in our school life.
Picture Day 1/24/2026
What to expect on picture day
- When an order is placed online, the parent/guardian will receive a camera pass via email. This can either be printed or texted to the student and brought to picture day. The photographer will photograph the printed camera pass along with the student.
- If a student is not able to print their camera pass, that is not a problem. We will match up the student to their order manually in the production process.
- A parent may order from the flyer up until 24 hours after picture day. After 24 hours, the online ordering access may close. This will allow our imaging team to “Pull” all orders submitted and match them with the students photographed.
- When pictures are returned to school, all students that purchased pictures will receive their prepaid package. Any student that was photographed but did not order a package, will receive a “Proof” (PX) of their picture that was taken on picture day.
All proof packages offer parents a second opportunity to order prints. All orders are subject to shipping and handling costs of up to $8.50 and will be shipped directly to home.
