2025-26 Instructions for Senior Yearbook Materials due 1/9/26

This year, we will be accepting the following from seniors for the Yearbook:

– Main senior portrait/photo

– Baby photo

– Senior quote

– Up to TWO supplementary pictures 

You may submit any or all of these things. However NOT FOLLOWING THESE INSTRUCTIONS PRECISELY MAY RESULT IN MIXING UP SUPPLEMENTARY AND MAIN PHOTOS, OMISSION OF MATERIALS, and OTHER MISHAPS. FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY AND PRECISELY. 

1. Go to Google Drive→Shared Drives (from the menu on the left). Make sure that you are in the “SENIOR YEARBOOK MATERIALS 2025/26” Shared Drive. If you don’t see it, email miranda_zigler@beaverton.k12.or.us
2. When you have your materials ready, create a folder in the shared drive for them. Name the folder in the following format: Last Name, First (Preferred for Yearbook) Name

Ex Zigler, Miranda

Ex Hayes-Smith, Jane

3. Within your named folder, drop your MAIN senior portrait. All submissions must be somewhat high quality JPEGs. iPhone pics usually need to be converted from HEICs, there are lots of free converters online and also free quality improving tools. 
4. If you have a baby photo, drop it in the same way as your Main portrait.
5. If you have a senior quote, within your named folder, create a Google Doc named “Last Name Senior Quote” ex “Zigler Senior Quote”. Type the quote exactly as you want it to appear, including attribution. Do not add anything else. If your quote is explicit please censor it properly yourself so we don’t have to. Slurs are not allowed under any circumstances, censored or not. 
6. If you have supplementary photos (no more than 2 supplementary photos, if you submit more than 2 we are just gonna pick 2), create another folder WITHIN your folder called “Supplementary Photos”. Upload the photos into this sub-folder as high quality JPEGs. 

No late submissions will be accepted unless you let Zigler know in advance. If you need help with these instructions, you can look at the EXAMPLE, EXAMPLE folder in the shared drive, or reach out to Zigler!
