| The information in this handbook
applies to my yearbook class as well as my other classes because as a yearbook student, you will be using
computers every day. In addition, however, there are policies and information that are
peculiar just to yearbook. In the process of
producing the best quality yearbook that we can possible make, you must remember that the
book we produce will be a memory book that students will keep for years to come and even
show to their children. As a result we have a serious responsibility to make sure that. .
.
- The information in the book is accurate and
fair to everyone.
- As many people and activities as possible
are included.
- All captions are kind, appropriate,
non-offensive in any way to any one, accurate, and correct with regard to grammar and
spelling.
- All survey results or other information are
appropriate and accurate, not reflecting negatively on the district, the school, the
staff, or any individual.
- The images must be of excellent quality.
Their content should not embarrass anyone. If there is any doubt at all, the people in the
photos should be consulted and their permission obtained.
- We do everything we can to insure a reasonable
cost for the yearbook, beginning by meeting all publisher’s deadlines.Decisions
regarding number of pages, inclusion of color, and other items that affect the cost of the
book must be made carefully, knowing that cost is an important factor to any families.
|
After making design decisions and determining
the sections into which the book will be divided, we will divide ourselves into teams for
each spread. With regard to work on a yearbook spread team, it is important to remember .
. .
- Your work is not done until the team’s work is done.
- You may have to work with another team to help meet deadlines.
- The teams decisions may not be your favorites, but after the
decision is made, your job is to support it cheerfully.

Application Process
Because class sized are limited in the
Multimedia Lab by number of computers and software licenses, an
application process is necessary to select students for the
multimedia and yearbook classes. Applications are made available to
students who are interested during the registration process. The
application includes a form for the student to fill out giving
biographical data and answers to questions regarding their idea of
what multimedia or yearbook is and how they think they can
contribute and/or benefit. It also includes a form to be signed by
parents and students acknowledging that they understand what the
class is all about and are willing to abide by our school’s AUG. The
last part of the application is teacher recommendations. Students
are required to find three teachers who are willing to recommend
them for the class. I select as many students as space allows. Since
Yearbook is a full year class, students may apply or reapply in the
spring for the next fall. |
