How do we put our book together?
Determine the approximate number of pages you will need in the book, based on the number of students and staff members, number of grades, extracurricular activities and other pages you might want in the book. If you plan to use portraits from your school
photographer, contact the photographer at the beginning of the school year. Arrange to have your portraits available, preferably on CD, as early as possible, as you will need them to begin page layout.
How do we organize our yearbook staff?
Assign committees: e.g., coordinator, publicity (advertising and sales), photography, design and layout, proofing, bookkeeping. We suggest the staff include both an adviser and an assistant adviser. Please notify us early with contact information. Include home phone numbers and e-mail addresses to avoid delays. Hold a staff meeting at the beginning of
the school year to set up a schedule for regular staff meetings.
What steps should we take to assemble our book?
Have your photographer supply you with photo prints or a high-resolution digital portrait CD. Follow the guidelines in this guide to create your yearbook. This can be done through school curriculum, your parent/ teacher organization or volunteers. Using committees, you can put the book together in stages. For example, at the beginning of the school year, put together the classroom pages, and then, as each activity, event or sporting season
concludes, add those pages to your book.
What process do we follow to get our book printed?
Complete the Yearbook Checklist found on the PDF Plan Production Form. Gather all the publication materials and send them to us.
