FORM DUE FRIDAY, OCTOBER 31ST
IF YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER IS SUBMITTING YOUR STUDENT'S PHOTO...
We HIGHLY suggest you ask them to use the provided link. Any information they are unsure of, they can respond with just "n/a" and a yearbook staff member will manually update the spreadsheet with the necessary info. This is the best way to ensure your student's photo is placed in the correct folder and is attached properly to their name. If photos are just emailed to the school we cannot guarantee they will be correctly placed in the proper folder as this is an interruption of the process and the email account for the yearbook sometimes receives 100s of emails a day.
If your photographer insists on emails the photos, this will be done at your own risk. IT IS REQUIRED THAT YOU FOLLOW UP WITH AN EMAIL TO JORDAN CORMIER (yearbook advisor) TO ENSURE YOUR STUDENT'S PHOTO HAS BEEN PROPERLY PROCESSED BY THE YEARBOOK STAFF.
FAQs
How will I know if my student's photo has been received?
Upon submitting the form linked above, you will receive a message that reads "Your senior's photo has been received. If further information is needed, a member of the yearbook staff will reach out".
If you are having a photographer submit a photo on your student's behalf and they email the photo to the school, it is REQUIRED that you follow-up with Jordan Cormier by sending an email to jordan.cormier@sau41.org to ensure the photo has been properly processed. Failure to do so is at your own risk!
What if I need to change the photo I have submitted?
If you realize your mistake before you have exited out of the form screen, you can click the button titled "edit response" and resubmit. If you have already exited out of the screen, submit a new form and email Jordan Cormier at jordan.cormier@sau41.org with your perferred photo so the yearbook staff can ensure they are deleting the correct photo from our folder.
Do pets count as props?
Yes! The reason we are so strict with this policy is because the focus of the photo should be on your wonderful senior! Not the cute distracting dog, or cat, or turtle...
If you would REALLY like a photo of your student's pet included in the pages of the yearbook, senior ads are available for purchase! There, you can place as many photos of your senior and their pet as you'd like! :)
What about baby photos?
The yearbook staff does not handle baby photos. If you would like your student's baby photo included, you can do so by purchasing a senior ad.
When are senior photos due?
Friday, October 31st
What if I miss the deadline?
Reach out to the yearbook staff at jordan.cormier@sau41.org Please be prepared to hear that it may be too late to have your student's chosen photo included in the yearbook if those pages have already been sent to print at our publisher's plant. However, we may be able to request some stickers of your senior's photo which our publisher can mail to you. These can then be applied to your student's and their friend's yearbooks.
What if I don't submit a senior photo at all? Will my child be listed as "not pictured"?
As long as they still sit for the photos the school takes at the beginning of the year, then NO! We will run with the photo the school has provided. If your child does not sit for a school photo either on the original picture day or on retake day, then we will have nothing available to print for them and would then be listed as "not pictured".
