    • Schedule a chat with your school office/support staff. They can be your best source to uncover your source for the following:
      • School photographer and photo day process
      • Student name/parent email lists for eBusiness/book sales
      • Book sales success: What has worked in the past? What hasn’t worked?
      • Notes from previous years
    • Schedule a chat with your principal(s)
      • What is his/her vision for the yearbook?
      • What did they like about the book?
      • What might they change?
    • Assign spreads and staffers to each deadline. Create a calendar and make sure everyone, including parents, know what’s up.
