Yearbook Policies
The Eleanor Roosevelt High School Yearbook, Valkyrie, is a fully student ran publication. Students cover, create, and build all content in the book. The Valkyrie Yearbook provides the school's history in pictures and written copy of a particular year, covering student life, clubs & organizations, athletics, academics, people, and community. Through an emphasis on the skills of journalistic writing, graphic design, photography, and basic principles of business, the production and publication of the yearbook offers an educational opportunity for staff members, while also serving as a form of public relations for the school and community. The yearbook affords staff members the opportunity to assume leadership roles and the responsibility of producing and publishing a journalistically sound yearbook while overseeing a small business.
Refunds for yearbooks are NOT given for any reason.
All students and faculty must have their portraits taken with the official school portrait photography company to be included in the current volume of the yearbook. There is no fee to take the yearbook photos. Senior portraits taken after November 17, 2023, may not appear in the book because of deadlines established by the printer. Every attempt will be made by the staff to include all students and staff in the book. The purchase of a yearbook does not guarantee the purchaser's photo will appear in the book.
If you ordered Recognition Ads or Business Ads, you are responsible for using the Ad Builder to build and create your ad. However, if a name is misspelled or there are any other discrepancies, there will be no refunds or discounts.
Sometimes there are typing errors in names, dates, or information provided. Sometimes there are photo errors, for example, if your student's picture does not appear in the book, or if an incorrect photo with another student's name. When errors are found prior to printing, they are corrected. Please accept our apologies for any errors we have missed, however, understand there will be no discounts or refunds in this event.
To pick up a purchased yearbook, you must come to the distribution days with your photo ID and sign that you received your yearbook. You can have another person pick up your yearbook by completing the Yearbook Authorization Form. Link: https://bit.ly/erhsyearbookpickup
The yearbook staff cannot be held responsible for lost or stolen books and will not refund any money or issue a new book if this occurs.
It will be the responsibility of the buyer to provide proof of purchase if no record can be provided by the staff.
The yearbook policies may be subject to change at any time and without prior notice.
