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.
