2011 Senior Portraits
It's time for Senior portraits. Here are the school’s requirements to keep in mind when you are scheduling and ordering photos. For their senior year the Class of 2011 will need a wallet-sized, formal, vertical, head and shoulder portrait. 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, revealing necklines, jeans etc.). The boys need to wear a dress shirt and tie. A suit jacket is nice but not required.
Any photo that does not meet these requirements will not be used.
The photo for the yearbook will be scanned (we do all photos digitally) and the hard copy will be used for the composite in the gym entrance. I also email the yearbook photo to the newspaper for their composite and to Paula for the newsletter write-ups. In addition it is used for the senior slide show and the photos that are featured on a school webpage slide show. Many people are waiting to use these photos and it’s important to submit them in a timely manner.
I also require a school, kindergarten photo of your child for the yearbook (please have their name on the back) and webpage. 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 15th. Any size photo will work for this up to 8"x10" since I scan it and return it to you.
Please turn in the yearbook/web/composite/newsletter/slideshow picture before Thanksgiving vacation. Our pages are due in January and we are penalized if we are late. Paula will need time to get the senior, newsletter articles in as well. In addition the newspaper and coaches will be requesting photos for various articles. Late photos create additional stress for everyone. 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,
Rita Heithoff
