Attention Class of 2009!!

Deadline for senior pictures, baby pictures and senior candids is Friday, October 3, 2008!!!!

All pictures must be digital!!!  This includes baby pictures & candids, so please start scanning your pictures ASAP.  If you need help ask the technology staff in the computer labs for assistance using the scanner.

You may upload your digital photographs directly to the yearbook website using the following address:

Be sure to name your pictures using your first initial, last name, and a number or individual tag to differentiate between each file.  Otherwise we will not necessarily know who is in the picture, or we may accidentally replace pictures you have already submitted with the new pictures you upload.

Please read the summer information letter below for specifics and directions:

Dear Seniors and Parents;

I hope you enjoy your summer! This letter is to provide information about yearbook expectations and procedures for the fall, so the yearbook staff can make important improvements for the 2008-2009 school year.

The deadline for the senior section of the yearbook comes very quickly in the fall, so it is important to have senior pictures taken as soon as possible this summer. The deadline to submit these pictures to yearbook has not been selected yet, but it will be in early October. Yearbook pictures can be taken by a professional or an amateur, and should be taken with a digital camera. The yearbook is designed using an online program, so all pictures submitted this upcoming year will need to be digital copies of images.

• If a professional is taking your yearbook picture, he or she can submit a CD to the Skowhegan H.S. yearbook advisor containing all of the Skowhegan student photos.
• If an amateur is taking your photograph, he or she can burn it to a CD and submit it as well.
• All senior pictures should be taken with the camera set on the highest resolution setting, but should be no larger than 25 MB in file size.
• To eliminate confusion, images should be saved as .JPG or .TIF only with your full name as the file name, and the disk should be tagged with your full name using a permanent marker.
• If you want to submit candid pictures, please scan them this summer using the 300 dpi resolution setting, make sure your name is part of the file name, and save them all on the same disk for submission.
• Keep in mind that file names should be a maximum of 20 characters long with no special characters or punctuation marks.
• Yearbook will not be accepting photos that are not digitally submitted. The process of sorting and organizing the photos is too time consuming, and it is too easy to misplace important photographs. Keep this in mind: the easier it is to work with your photos, the higher the potential for their publication in the yearbook.

I hope this letter will answer any questions you may have about submitting senior pictures to the yearbook. If you have unanswered questions please feel free to e-mail me: kdrummond@msad54.org. I do check this e-mail in the summer, and will try to answer any questions as soon as possible. Thank you.
