Want to see your own memories in the yearbook? Then, Yearbook+ is for you!
A new feature has been added so students can submit their own photos to the yearbook digitally.
Students can upload their own photos to specific topics, like clubs and dances, or to their own school portrait. Once the yearbooks arrive in May, they can see the photos that other students have uploaded by scanning images that have been tagged with a burro icon, which will take the student.
“We want to expand coverage and pack it as full as possible with content,” said Yearbook Advisor Susie Burgess. “We have more photos than we can include on our spreads, but Yearbook+ will let us share them digitally, so students will still get to see them. We’re also excited to see what pictures students are taking themselves.”
Yearbook+ will also allow the yearbook staff to include photos of graduation, college-decision photos, and other year-end activities.
To generate awareness of the exciting new feature, the Yearbook class is adding an incentive: the first 25 students who submit photos will have their names put in a drawing for a free yearbook.
Yearbooks are on sale now for $100.
Yearbook Business Manager Jayani Croos-Peterson said she values the technology and how it can help create a more meaningful yearbook for students.
“It’s a wonderful way to include more students and make everyone feel like the Yearbook was created by and for them,” said Croos-Peterson.
Uploading photos is easy. QR codes are all around campus or in the photo below. When you scan one, you are sent to Yearbook+ and can choose specific photos or categories to add to.
