Class of 2009

Senior Photos

Dear Parents,

I just wanted to take a moment and let you know what the school needs for senior pictures before you make your appointments. For their senior year the Class of 2009 will need a wallet-sized photo for the yearbook and class composite. This picture is to be a formal, vertical, head and shoulder pose. Zooming in on a photo that is too far away results in a blurry picture, which is why it is important that the photo is a head and shoulder view. Their clothing should be school, dress code appropriate (no hats, t-shirts, spaghetti straps, jeans etc.). The boys need to wear a dress shirt and tie. A suit jacket is nice but not required.

I will not use any photo that does not meet these requirements!

The photo for the yearbook will be scanned (we do all photos digitally) and the hard copy will be used for the composite. I also email the yearbook photo to the newspaper for their composite and to Paula for the newsletter write-ups. This photo may also be used in the graduation video. The newspaper often requests we send a senior photo for their articles as well.

IT IS IMPORTANT THESE PHOTOS ARE SUBMITTED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!

We will require a school, kindergarten photo of your child for the yearbook (please have their name on the back). If you don’t have a kindergarten photo, one that is as close as possible will do such as first grade. The kindergarten picture is due by September 15^th. This photo will be scanned and returned to you.

Please turn in the yearbook/web/composite/newsletter picture before Thanksgiving vacation. Our pages are due in January and we are penalized if we are late. Paula also needs time to get the senior, newsletter articles in as well. Most photographers will send photos directly to the school if you request it. By requesting this option, you may have the photo submitted before you order your prints. Some photographers have a “Yearbook” option where you may purchase just one wallet for the yearbook instead of a full sheet. If you have any questions please call me at school (843-2455) or at home (843-2307). Thank you for your cooperation!

Sincerely,

Mrs. Rita Heithoff
