Senior Photos
Seniors,
If you are interested in getting your Senior Portraits done professionally, Fotorama Studios started taking Ramón Cortines student photos February 13. Please see the links below with information regarding Fotorama Studios, prices, hours and location. If you have your portrait taken by them, we need this to happen no later than Saturday, March 6, as Mr. Caridad still needs those pictures to add them to the Yearbook. (You do not need to submit the pictures to Mr. Caridad. Fotorama will forward them to him, but you must let Fotorama know that you are from Ramón Cortines High School.) Remember that this is NOT an activity sponsored by the school and/or LAUSD. If you use Fotorama, it is at your own discretion. Ramón Cortines still encourages seniors to submit their pictures by using the app from Friesens.
