SENIORS: PHOTOS NEEDED

 The yearbook staff is requesting two things from each senior:

1. Senior portrait
2. Baby photo

Attach both photos to one email and send to Photos@ALAcoyotes.org (yearbook acct) by March 1, 2026.

Senior photo details:

• This photo should be a high quality, recent photo (a portrait or a favorite photo from this school year).
• Do not screenshot a photo from your phone. Ask the photographer and download the original, high quality JPG.
• This photo will be used in the yearbook and an online Senior Spotlight.
• Please share a photo in which your clothing follows the dress code.

The baby photo:

• age newborn - 4 years
• original digital image, preferred, or a scanned copy of a print

Ideas for Senior photos:

• Ask a friend or parent to take a photo (use a high quality cell phone camera in portrait mode, go outside).
• Ask a Digital Media student to take a photo for you.
• Schedule an appt. with a photographer on Presidents' Day or on a weekend.

Questions? Contact Jenni Petersen (Petersen@ALAcoyotes.org) or Jen Bode (JBode@ALAcoyotes.org).
