Graduation Class of 2025 Yearbook Deadlines:
Class of 2026–it’s time to think about your yearbook senior portrait. You have two options:
(1) Use the school picture day portrait, which will automatically be received by the yearbook staff and has no cost;
(2) Use your own photographer, which requires submitting an appropriate photo to the yearbook staff by Nov. 3. (Senior sessions fill quickly, so schedule with your preferred photographer soon!)
If you have any questions, please contact Mrs. Kristen Fischer (kristen.fischer@carlynton.k12.pa.us).
Senior Portrait Information:
Seniors have the option of using Studio TEN for their Senior Portrait on the same day as school pictures. This service is provided free of charge, unless the student purchases a Studio TEN portrait package. The advantage of using Studio TEN is that the portrait will meet all guidelines established by the Yearbook staff and the portrait is automatically shared with the Yearbook staff.
Seniors may also hire an independent photographer and submit their portrait to Mrs. Fischer. Students must either upload the photo to the Google Classroom in the appropriate portal/post or transport a hard copy of the photo to school (attention: Mrs. Fischer/Yearbook).
Technical Requirements:
~ Digital files must be submitted as .jpg or .jpeg; scanned photos must be high in resolution (approx. 300 dpi)
~ Pictures from cell phones may not offer high enough resolution, but often can work
~ Filename must include the senior’s last name and then first name (ex: Fischer_Kristen.jpg). Hard copy physical photos are ideally 2 inches wide by 2.5 inches tall and must have the student’s first and last name clearly attached to the back of the photo.
To achieve consistency among all portraits, all portraits must be a head and shoulders or torso shot (mid-body and up); must show student facing the camera, with both eyes visible, and should be sitting or standing; may not contain props (animals, hats, sunglasses, sport equipment, instruments or additional people); incorporate minimal background details (simple and uncluttered backgrounds look best); and may not contain names or date stamps on the portrait. Failure to meet these requirements will result in the picture not being published in the Yearbook.
Yearbooks go on sale the first week of school. This is the best opportunity to secure the best price of the year through the Yearbook’s back-to-school special offer. Additionally, anyone who would like to purchase a yearbook ad to honor and celebrate a senior in the Class of 2024 will also be able purchase an ad at the beginning of the school year.
