Old-fashioned yearbook printers dole out worksheets and checklists, 400-page curricula, hard-to-navigate sites, Google forms and more charts than an optometrist. Have you found the extra hours in your week to decipher it all?

Free yourself from antiquated thinking. Rather than tripping on what's behind, bring your program into the now. 

THE TRUTH ABOUT YEARBOOKS

Modern books rely on two things: Pictures and words.

Speaking of words, here’s our 50-word guide to revolutionary yearbooks:

Assign weekly photo and conversation quotas to generate content. Review as a group. Track who’s been covered. Enlist your most committed kids to organize the best materials onto our magazine-inspired templates — or create your own. Arrange and polish until you’re happy. Check coverage. Submit pages. Books arrive seven weeks later.

That sounds so much easier, right?

We know advising the yearbook is sometimes overwhelming, and often thankless.

Count on us to be there when you need a pep talk or a new idea… that is, besides our teacher-friendly, single deadline approach and workflow guidance tailored to your program.

Focus on students instead of events. People instead of buildings. Invite your community to be part of the staff. Ask for photos and story ideas. Point contributors to our free sharing site to store their photos until you’re ready to use them.

Advisers tell us they prefer to use existing school communication channels, rather than adding one more form, app or email to parents’ and guardians’ already busy days.

Yearbook needs to be simple. Logical. Inclusive. That’s the American way.

How revolutionary!
