QUESTIONS & ANSWERS!
1) Do I have to have my Senior Portrait taken at Lifetouch Studios?
Lifetouch (PRESTIGE SENIOR PORTRAITS) is our official school photographer and you must complete a Senior Portrait session with them. The session is free for seniors. Lifetouch has many options for Senior Portrait backgrounds or environmental settings. If you are unhappy with your Prestige image proofs for any reason, you are not obligated to pay for any additional sessions and may furnish a portrait of your choosing so long as it has a neutral or natural background.
Please call (781) 662-9448 if you have questions about your appointment. Please select your senior picture via Prestige's site before January 30th!!!
2.) It's the last week in January and I forgot to order my Senior Yearbook, is it too late?
Although you did miss the order deadline, we order a book for all members of the Senior class.
3.) I want to buy a Senior Family Ad, what do I need to do?
All you need to do is visit a local photo center and create the image(s) and text you want in the publication. Some individuals elect to use a photo layout applications they are familiar with, such as those made available at photo centers for the purpose of creating Holiday Photo Greetings or photo collages. Payment are made through the WPS payment site. Once payment is submitted and confirmed, simply email your photo-ready materials to vinae@wellesleyps.org and the Yearbook staff will create your child's ad space.

SENIOR AD INFO
Ads are a great way to congratulate your Senior on their efforts. The YB staff can accept most types of document formats (.doc, .ppt, .pdf. .jpg) however the images that have the best print outcomes are usually those saved in .jpg format with 300+ dpi. Black and white, sepia or full-color photos work equally well for ads.
All ad materials should be sent via email to vinae@wellesleyps.org
Please be selective about the images you wish to include in your ad (special childhood images are recommended). Images that are deemed inappropriate for a community publication will not be included in the yearbook. In other words, we ask that you save any questionable images for your personal Facebook page or family album.
If we receive an attachment that we can not open or read, we will email you and request the materials be sent in a different format.

2023 SPRING EDITION
Why aren't spring events and sports included in the book?
These groups are not included in the printed publication as the events occur after the publication deadlines. Spring events and sports are acknowledged in a digital document that is made available to the public for a limited time in late June.
