Yearbook Deadlines and more!

It is about that time of year to start thinking about yearbook deadlines. Deadlines are fast approaching and they seem to sneak up on you.  Hopefully, with the help of YearbookLife you should be right on track. The standard time it takes to get your yearbook back to your school without a proof is six weeks. With a proof it takes eight weeks. Then you must take into consideration distributing your school yearbook to the students. You will probably want to set aside at least two weeks for yearbook sales. YearbookLife is offering an early bird special. Yearbooks submitted on or before 3/15/2011 will qualify for a 4% discount plus Autograph Supplement. There must be 100 or more orders for the special.

Ever feel like you wish you could have had the entire year covered in your yearbook, and not just the first few months? YearbookLife has a solution for you. Supplement pages allow students to fill in any information or events that the yearbook staff couldn’t cover later in the year.  Color Supplements are usually 4-16 page books without a cover. They are usually taped in the back of the original yearbook. We add the tape strip; the advisor or students insert it into their book. If timed right a person can get the supplement back at the same time as the book or close to the same time, otherwise they are a summer or fall delivery. 

Another thing to keep in mind is the addition of autograph pages.  These pages allow for students to have as much room as they will need to leave their notes for their friends.  Autograph pages also have sections for best movies, words of wisdom, predictions of my future, etc. They come in color with fun designs in the background, which will add a fun flare to your school yearbook.

Reasons to Buy School Pictures

If you are a proud parent then you definitely want to buy school pictures of your children. As a parent, school pictures are the most important reminiscence for you and your family since it helps to build the most precious memories of your child. While it is nice to ensure each family member gets a picture, you need to come first. It is no secret that grandparents love showing off and displaying pictures of their grandkids, uncles want to show pictures of their nephews and nieces, and even cousins will boast of their cute and gorgeous relatives.  Aside from yourself, you have to provide other family members with your child’s school pictures.

Every year the school that your child attends has a professional “school picture day” when they take pictures of every student that attends that school. Once those pictures get back to the school they distribute a sample along with an order form that your children will have to take home for you to fill out if you want to buy them. Most parents don’t realize the importance of buying these pictures and end up ordering them because they think is a requirement or just to avoid their children pleading.  If you’ve received these pictures and you haven’t yet bought any then you should be aware of the most important reasons that would let you understand why you should be purchasing your son/daughter’s school photos.

  • Your child will surely feel important and be very happy when they get the pictures back from school and share them with you. You thought of them as a good investment and that will make your child appreciate you a lot more.
  • You can have picture time lines of your kids throughout school. You can see how they grow and change year by year. Buying their school pictures each year could leave you with a time line of photos from each of your children throughout their schooling years. You can then share with them these memories later on in life or just look back at them once they leave your home and head off to college and the real world.
  • You can send them out to relatives as part of the family photo’s collection. Buying your kids’ school pictures may be a good idea that way you don’t have to take them to a professional studio each year to have those photos taken, and you can share with your relatives the growing of your child.
  • School picture are usually not that expensive. Schools have many programs to assure affordable prices and give every student the possibility to get his/her pictures. A good tip, if money is a concern, is to consider saving up for a couple of months once the school year starts and then this won’t be an issue.
