Yearbook
All Seniors are asked to submit a senior portrait, baby picture, and quote to the Yearbook. The deadline for Senior Portraits, Baby Pictures, and Quotes to Yearbook Staff is November 24, 2023.
Senior Portrait Specifications:
As you schedule your son’s or daughter’s Senior Portrait, please be aware of our yearbook photo guidelines, as we cannot include portraits that do not adhere to them:
- Head and shoulder shots only
- No full body, props, no hands on or near the face, no hats
- NO SPAGHETTI STRAPS OR BARE SHOULDERS (cropped photos don’t always look appropriate)
- No “glamour-style” photos
- Plain background preferred- no bright or distracting backgrounds
- Please note that while we technically allow outdoor shots, please keep the background simple – not distracting (ex. no fences, horse, bright flowers, etc.)
- Color photos only
- Photos emailed preferred in jpeg format – Due to resolution requirements, we highly recommend not taking your own photo. We cannot guarantee their quality in the yearbook.
- Baby Pictures: Baby photos can be any size. If submitted by email, please use jpeg format.
- Senior Quotes: Senior quotes should be short phrases from a famous person or someone who has influenced you. They should be positive, inspirational, or hold a personal meaning for you. When choosing your quote, please keep in mind the following:
- No symbols, abbreviations, “creative spelling”, acronyms, or emojis
- No profanity, gang-related words/phrases, no drug or alcohol references
- No derogatory comments toward students or staff
- No questionable/inappropriate content; no sexually explicit content
- No language that denigrates another person’s ethnicity, religious/political beliefs, sexuality, gender, physical, or mental abilities, etc.
- Quotes should be positive and respectable
Yearbook advisors and/or the principal have the right to reject a questionable quote.
Parent Ads
November 30, 2023 - Leave a note to your graduating senior that will last forever. Space will be available on a first-come, first-serve basis. Parent Ads will be available for parents to design directly on the Jostens website. Please visit www.jostens.com for sizes and pricing.
Please consider a Parent Ad for your senior. This is a great place to showcase senior photos that do not meet the portrait section guidelines. PLEASE NOTE: We sold out our space in this section last year!
Ordering a Yearbook
You can order a yearbook at www.jostens.com! The Early Bird Special is $55 and four free icons with the purchase of personalization. This pricing is only available for a short time in September. The cost will increase after that.
Submitting Photos – our photographers can’t be everywhere. We welcome all photos taken at school, community or sports events. Please send them in to a yearbook adviser. The Yearbook Staff will review all photos and determine final yearbook content.
If you have questions or you want to submit any photos for consideration, email us at hsyearbook@marcellusschools.org.
