AOE Yearbook

Yearbook Photo Submission Guidelines

We’d love your help creating a yearbook that reflects our entire school community. Please follow the guidelines below when submitting photos:

 

✅ High-quality photos only

Clear, well-lit images work best. Please avoid blurry, dark, or heavily filtered photos.

✅ Group photos preferred

Photos with multiple students are encouraged whenever possible. Images where children are looking at the camera are ideal.

✅ Choose your best photos

Please do not upload multiple versions of the same photo. Select 1–2 favorites per moment or event.

✅ Upload to the correct folder

Be sure photos are added to the appropriate class, grade, or event folder in Google Drive.

✅ Help us represent everyone

We aim to include as many students as possible. Please be mindful to submit photos that show a variety of children—not just the same few faces.

✅ Candid school moments welcome

Classroom activities, field trips, performances, assemblies, spirit days, and school events are all great submissions.

Our AOE community is something to be proud of. Help us continue to offer the amazing special events and opportunities that our students love by volunteering with the PTA.

 

Being part of the PTA means sharing in the moments that make school special—building connections with other families, staying close to your child’s school life, and helping create memories your children will carry with them long after the school year ends.

 

Your Nominating Committee is actively seeking new faces for the 2026-27 school year. A variety of roles are available, from leadership to committee chairs and coordinators, with some board positions requiring less than 5 hours of commitment a month. Did your child love a certain event this year? Many existing event teams are looking to add members.

 

Reach out to nomcom@aoepta.org to learn how you can lend a hand.

 

Help us get to know you and your interests!
