FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS I am in eighth grade, I heard that I get my yearbook for free. Is this true? In order to receive a yearbook, no matter what grade you are in, you must purchase one. There are scholarships available for 8th grade students ONLY who demonstrate a need. Please see your guidance counselor to see if you qualify. I am a 6th or 7th grade student can/should I purchase a yearbook? Yes you may purchase a yearbook. 6th and 7th graders are included in the book! Why does the yearbook cost so much? Our yearbook is self funded, we do not receive funds from the school district or anywhere else to fund the creation of the book. It may seem like a lot of money,but our book is a very high quality publication, higher than most middle schools and even some high school yearbooks. It is full color, bound with a hard cover,and has approximately 140 pages! We include the whole year in our book: all clubs and activities, all sports teams, special events and all students and staff. How many ads may I/or my family place in the yearbook? Ads are limited to one family ad per 8th grade student. At present we do not have a limit on friends ads. I/My family wants to place an ad how do we accomplish this? Click on the ad creation tab and follow the directions at the Herff Jones ad creation site. You will be asked to create an account first. Then you can create your ad by following their instructions. Pictures you wish to use within your ad will need to be uploaded to their website so you should have them selected and in a location on your computer where you can easily access them. When you have competed your ad you will be asked to proof it and pay for it at the Herff Jones website via credit card. The ad then gets sent to a secure site that the yearbook staff, only, can access in order to place your ad within the book. I think I purchased a yearbook, how can I make sure of this? Yearbooks are purchased Online at the Herff Jones Order Center or through the mailer sent to your home. Your proof of purchase will be your canceled check or credit card statement. You may check there or email Mrs. Brendel, Yearbook adviser. If I have trouble designing my ad at the Herff Jones website where can I go to get assistance? You should call Tech Support at Herff Jones: 877-362-7750. I have a picture that I posted on Facebook, can I use that picture in my ad? You will need to use the original file, not the one from Facebook, as Facebook lowers the resolution of images when you post them there. If I take a retake portrait will it go in the yearbook instead of the original portrait? Yes the retake will be used in the yearbook unless you contact us an tell us to use the original photo.
