YEARBOOK
Start your yearbook promotions at the beginning of the year and
utilize the preferred parent communication method that your school
already has in place (for example: weekly folders and envelopes sent
home to parents). Send promotional flyers home two weeks before
order taking will occur.

The same day you send the order-taking envelopes
home with students, ask the teachers to give each
student one of the enclosed stickers to let the parents
know it is order-taking time.
Students can wear stickers
home to remind parents about
ordering their yearbook.
