Senior Picture Information
Senior Mug shots will be due no later than Wednesday November 30th 2022 to ensure that we can finish the senior section on time. There will be no exceptions and this date will not be extended. Most photographers take 4-6 weeks to complete senior pictures so please plan accordingly. Seniors may use the school’s yearbook photographer or a professional photographer of their own choosing. Students will incur the cost of the portraits. Appropriate attire is required and the student’s face should be clearly visible. Senior portraits may not display anything that is inappropriate, of poor taste and must follow the school dress code. This includes, but is not limited to firearms, other weapons, drugs, tobacco or alcohol. Seniors who miss the deadline for submitting their senior portrait cannot expect to be included in the yearbook.
- You or your photographer will need to submit a FULL COLOR digital image file with a resolution of 300 dpi VERTICALLY ORIENTED (think taller not wider). The digital file should be uploaded via this link: http://www.hjeshare.com. You will need to enter some basic information and the code waunakee2022. You will not receive a confirmation email from the eShare site if something is wrong eShare will tell you. Senior digital images can also be submitted on a disk/flash drive to the main office "attn: yearbook staff" - Please note that these items will not be returned. If your photographer would like more info on this have them contact Mr. Willauer directly. PLEASE MAKE SURE THE FILE IS NAMED WITH THE STUDENT’S LAST NAME THEN FIRST NAME. EX (SMITH_JOHN.JPG) WE WILL NOT BE COLLECTING PHOTOS VIA EMAIL AS THEY QUICKLY FILL UP OUR INBOX. ALL EMAILED PHOTOS WILL BE DELETED.
- If you are not able to submit a digital file you must submit two wallet sized full color photos to the yearbook staff by dropping them off in person, in a sealed envelope with your full name on both the photos and the envelope to the main office. PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR NAME IS ON BOTH THE PHOTOS AND THE ENVELOPE! Digital photos that are printed out on photo paper do not scan well and will not be accepted - we would like the original sized digital image. Please talk to your photographer and have that submitted using the directions above.
- We will not be collecting photos for the Tribune again this year. Any student that wishes to be a part of the graduation insert must submit their photos to the Tribune office separately. Please contact them directly for their deadline date.
- If you would like to still be in the Yearbook this year but do not want to go through a professional photographer other options do exist.
- Twenty-four hour photographers offer a quality head shot for a minimal sitting fee with the option to purchase whatever sizes and quantities you may desire.
- Also photos from major department store studios have been used as well.
- You can use the school photographer, Life Touch, for your senior portrait as well - students receive a free sitting at registration with no obligation to purchase. Just be sure that you let us know so that we may obtain a copy from them. Please remember that photos that are not of sufficient quality will not be included in the yearbook. The dates for Lifetouch photos have not been set but please let Mr. Willauer know if you plan to use this option.
Senior Profiles - What are these?
Senior Profiles are an optional and additional section reserved for seniors. The senior profile is a combination of a supplied baby picture, nickname and quote. Seniors may choose to submit any or all of these items for this section but it is not required and is totally separate from the senior portrait. The cost for submitting these optional items and this additional space is 25.00 to cover the production cost incurred for the extra space/pages for this extra content. You only need to pay the 25.00 fee if you choose to submit items in the senior profile portion of the senior section. The baby picture/Senior profile section will be due no later than Wednesday November 30th 2022. Any pictures submitted after this date will not be guaranteed a place in the yearbook. A link to a google form will be emailed out to seniors via email multiple times between now and the deadline. We require a digital copy of your priceless baby photos which can be submitted on separate CD, flash drive, or uploaded using the same process as submitting your senior photo. You can find the link here. Remember to make sure your file is named with a first name, last name and the words baby picture so we know who it is. If you do not have access to a scanner or would like the yearbook staff to scan your baby picture for you please sign up for contact time using the ZZZInnovation Center tag to secure a spot. Mr. Willauer will scan your photo during this time and make sure it is logged in the system. Students wishing to take advantage of this will need to start signing up the week of November 7th 2022 through the November 30th deadline. Students should bring in their photo on their scheduled contact time to help expedite this process.
