From the Yearbook Club

Underclassmen (9th-11th graders) will be taking portraits in the auditorium on Tuesday 4/20, Wednesday 4/21, and Thursday 4/22.

Green cohort hybrid students will have the opportunity to take pictures either during English/WCL classes on Tuesday 4/20, or during the R&R break in the middle of the day. Grey cohort hybrid students will have the same opportunities, but their picture day will be Thursday 4/22.

Photographers will be in the auditorium from 2-6 PM on Wednesday 4/21 for any virtual students who want to have their portraits taken. You will need to sign up for a timeslot in order to be allowed into the school. The signup genius is here:

If your underclassman does not want to have their portrait taken at the school but still wish to be in the yearbook, they will need to submit a picture through ybkplus.com Information for submitting pictures through YBK+ can be located here: ​​​​​​​ We have changed the deadline for YBK+ portrait submission from Friday, April 9th to Friday, April 30th.

If you have submitted a portrait through YBK+ and also get your portrait taken at the school, the portraits taken at the school will take priority in the yearbook.
