Good Afternoon Bristol Public Schools Community,

We are aware of recent news reports concerning corporate connections between Lifetouch Photography, its parent company Shutterfly, and Apollo Global Management. At this time, we are not aware of any evidence that Lifetouch has mishandled student photographs or data, or that any Bristol students have been harmed through Lifetouch's services. 

We value our partnership with our parents and will keep the community apprised should we learn of any new information.  As always, the well-being and safety of our students will guide every decision we make. 

Sincerely,

Iris White

Superintendent of Schools
