    YEARBOOK INFO FOR SENIORS:

    SENIOR PORTRAIT GUIDELINES: Seniors get to submit a photo of themselves for the senior section of the yearbook.  All senior portraits are due by December 8, 2023. If you do not submit a photo by the deadline, your ID/Lifetouch photo will be used.  Students may use a photo taken by a professional photographer or students may use photos taken by friends or family.
    There are a few guidelines that must be followed:
    1. Your portrait must be a representation of you, not someone or something else.
    2. Your face must be showing (no masks, backs of heads, etc).
    3. You must be dressed in a way that conforms to the school dress code.
    4. Your portrait can not promote or condone drug use, gang activity, or violence.
    If you aren’t sure if your creative portrait idea conforms to these rules, make sure to have some backup photos to use instead.
     
    SENIOR PORTRAIT FORMAT REQUIREMENTS:
    1. Photos may be in color, or black & white, indoor or outdoor, formal or informal (see the above guidelines).
    2. Photos must be cropped the way they are intended to appear (minimal cropping may occur when pages are created).
    3. There are no head-size requirements.
    4. Images must be a vertical portrait layout.
    5. Image size: 3” high x 2.25” wide, resolution of 300 pixels/inch (900 pixels by 675 pixels).
    6. File format: JPEG.
    7. File Name: LastName_FirstName_senior. Example: Smith_Joe_senior.jpg (use your preferred first name)

    SENIOR QUOTES: Yearbook does not include senior quotes as it is not best practice for student journalists. Like the newspaper staff, yearbook staff adheres to the Society of Professional Journalists Code of Ethics. Yearbook staff are responsible for all content published in the yearbook, whether they created it or not. Senior quotes expose yearbook staff to risk for copyright infringement and libel, among other concerns. Student voices will be included in the yearbook in a myriad of other ways.
     
    SENIOR PAGES: Google Forms about senior superlatives and senior advice will be posted in the class of 2024 Canvas in December or January.
     
    Yearbook invites additional photo submissions from students, parents, and other members of the school community. 

    Yearbook staff will be soliciting photos using Google Forms through each grade level's Canvas class, and will also be accepting photos featuring Lincoln students who are members of clubs, student unions, teams, etc. by email: lhscardinalyearbook@gmail.com. When sending photos for the Yearbook staff to consider using, you must include the following information:

    • Names and grades of people in the photo (in order from left to right)
    • Activity or topic of photo
    • If you are the photographer, include your full name and contact information and a sentence giving the Yearbook staff permission to publish the photo in the Yearbook.
    • If you did not take the photo(s), please include the name and contact information for the photographer so Yearbook staff can contact them to obtain permission to publish the photo.

    Please contact Yearbook editors or other staff at lhscardinalyearbook@gmail.com with any questions.

    PPS GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS:

    Check with your counselor to verify you have completed all requirements to graduate

    In addition to meeting the credit requirements, PPS students demonstrate proficiency in three Essential Skills: Reading, Writing and Mathematics. The primary manner to demonstrate any Essential Skills is to meet, in the specified area, on the Smarter Balanced Assessment. If students are not able to meet through this option, then they can demonstrate their proficiency for an Essential Skill by completing an alternative assessment or work sample. PPS graduates also complete three Personalized Learning Diploma Requirements (PLRs):

    The Resume and My Plan are assignments in Senior English, but you can complete your CRLE Reflection any time after you complete a job shadow, internship, career-related field trip, etc.
    A Career Related Learning Experience can offer you a unique topic for a college essay for scholarship interview too. Exploring your interests and career options can also help you determine your next steps after high school. See Career Coordinator Shannan Fasold in the Counseling about job shadowing, career day events and volunteering. She has career assessments and college research tools for students too.
