EXPERT

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.
