February is an important month for your yearbook committee, as it involves several important tasks to ensure the timely and successful completion of your yearbook. Here are the most important things your committee should be focusing on in February:
SPRING DELIVERY SCHOOLS
- Double-check your schedule for spring sports, clubs, and activities: It’s essential to review the schedule for all spring sports, clubs, and activities to ensure that no events are missed. This helps in planning coverage and making sure that all important moments are captured.
- Update the Planning Calendar with any new developments: The Planning Calendar should be regularly updated with any new developments or changes in the schedule. This ensures that the committee stays on track and can adjust plans as needed.
- Take inventory to determine if you’re missing any photos or writeups: Conducting an inventory of the photos and writeups collected so far is crucial. This helps identify any gaps and allows the committee to take action to fill them before it’s too late.
- Remind everyone that grad quotes and baby pictures need to be in by the end of the month (if applicable): If the yearbook includes grad quotes and baby pictures, it’s important to remind students and parents to submit them by the end of the month. This ensures that these elements are included in the yearbook without causing delays.
- Upload and edit grad portraits: Grad portraits should be uploaded and edited to ensure they meet the yearbook’s standards. This step is vital for maintaining the quality and consistency of the yearbook.
- Design the grad portrait pages: Once the grad portraits are uploaded and edited, the next step is to design the grad portrait pages. This involves arranging the portraits in a visually appealing manner and ensuring that all students are represented.
- Finish any pages that can be completed…don’t let them lag behind!: It’s important to complete any pages that can be finished at this stage. This helps prevent a backlog of work and ensures that the yearbook stays on schedule.

FALL DELIVERY SCHOOLS
- Place all fall event stories and photos on pages: For those working on a fall delivery, February is the time to place all stories and photos from fall events onto the yearbook pages. This helps in organizing the content and ensuring that all events are covered.
- Finalize grad quotes and baby pictures (if applicable): Finalizing grad quotes and baby pictures is another important task. This involves reviewing the submissions, making any necessary edits, and ensuring that they are ready for inclusion in the yearbook.
- Upload and edit grad portraits: Similar to the spring delivery, grad portraits for the fall delivery should be uploaded and edited to maintain quality and consistency.
- Design the grad portrait pages: Designing the grad portrait pages is a key task for the fall delivery as well. This involves arranging the portraits and ensuring that the layout is visually appealing.
- Finish any pages that can be completed…don’t let them lag behind!: Completing any pages that can be finished at this stage is crucial for staying on schedule and preventing a backlog of work.
Without a doubt, February is a very busy month, but with careful planning and organization, your yearbook committee can get this year’s book done on time and meet the highest standards of quality!
