Yearbook Senior Photo Information:

It is not too early to start thinking about senior photos for the 2017-18 yearbook! The deadline will be in October 2017. The photograph should be a vertical head and shoulder shot. The image can be sent in to the school on a disk as a high resolution digital image (at least 2”X3” at 300 dpi, .tif or .jpg) or one traditional 2”X3” wallet size printed photo (attention Olympian/TPF); or (preferred) you can email the digital file to us at: jmmhsolympian@gmail.com. Make sure the image is sent as a high resolution digital image that is at least 2”X3” at 300 dpi, as a .tif or .jpg file. Please keep in mind the MMSD dress code when getting the pictures taken. The Olympian reserves the right to refuse publication of any image that does not meet yearbook requirements and dress code policies. If a photo is not supplied by October 30th, the student’s Lifetouch ID photo will be used if they had one taken at the beginning of the year during registration. In order to have the picture in to the Olympian by the deadline, we strongly recommend that you have the picture taken before school starts.

Please be aware that most senior photos are taken by students or family members. Some photos have been taken with phones. You do not need to spend large amounts of money for professional photos. If you have concerns with getting your senior a professional looking photo taken, please contact Teri Parris Ford attparrisford@madison.k12.wi.us so that we can arrange to have a student photographer take your students picture at Memorial in mid-September.

Make sure to purchase a yearbook at registration!! If you are unable to purchase your yearbook during registration then students must purchase their yearbook with their neighborhood secretary by January 5, 2018 in order to have a yearbook ordered for them. There will be no guarantee of extra yearbooks on distribution day in May 2018. Please make sure to pre-order your book!
