Senior Yearbook Information - Community High School District 99

Attention families of Class of 2017 seniors! Below is some important information related to the senior section of the yearbook. Senior Portraits: If your student hasn’t already scheduled his/her senior pictures, please schedule a portrait appointment at Prestige Portraits by Lifetouch. Senior picture appointments take place at DGS during the summer. The senior portrait ​
deadline for guaranteed inclusion in the yearbook is ​
October 18th.​
Appointments fill up quickly, so call 630.910.6800 to schedule your student’s appointment today! Yearbook­only sittings are free of charge. See the studio’s website by visiting www.prestigeportraits.com​
for information about other photo session and photo package purchase options. Pre­Ordering a Yearbook for your Senior Student: Your student’s high school career may be nearing an end, but the memories from high school last a lifetime! Help your student preserve these memories by pre­ordering a yearbook for him or her. It’s recommended that you order a yearbook on fee payment day as the cost of the yearbook increases later in the year and pre­ordering makes picking up the book easier at the year’s end. *​
Please note that payment for anything yearbook­related may be made in cash or by check payable to Downers Grove South High School. Senior Baby Picture Submission: This year ​
all baby photos will need to be submitted digitally​
. Hard copies will not be accepted. Baby photos can be emailed to ​
[email protected]​

and the email subject line should read “Senior baby picture of [student’s name].”​
​
This year, there will be no cost for baby photos. The last day to submit Senior baby photos will be October 31st. ​

TIPS for creating your best ad
• Your photos will look and fit better if your photo is
the same orientation as the picture box. (Horizontal
vs vertical orientation.)
• Use clear, high-resolution photos. If your photo is
blurry, it will be blurry in your ad.
Revenue from yearbook ads helps our
school create a better yearbook!
SCHOOL GUIDELINES
Our school reserves the right to edit ads per our
guidelines. Please make sure all submitted materials
are appropriate for school publication.
• Create the ad around your student and write a
personal message that will be meaningful.
• Use the cropping tools on the website to crop out
unnecessary background and focus on your student.
