FAQs
Will my submissions be published?
Our goal is to include everything that is submitted to us, but due to various considerations and publishing constraints, some submissions may not be printed.
Will there be individual school photos?
Yes! If your student missed picture day, you can still send us a headshot for the yearbook.
If I miss picture day in the fall, will I have a portrait included?
We make every attempt to get photos of students who missed Fall Portrait day. We use spring photos or other photos taken at school to ensure every student is represented. You can also submit a photo to yearbook@peterkirkptsa.org if you missed picture day.
Will every student be represented?
This book will be as full as our community creates it to be. We are hopeful that every family will be able to send us the photos to represent their students!
Can my photo contain other students or non-PK families?
All submission need to only represent Peter Kirk students with no additional family members or children outside of Peter Kirk. Parents submitting photos that include other Peter Kirk students should ensure all parents approve of the photo being printed. Submitting a photo to our dedicated Dropbox implies permission for publication.
I'm having trouble with Dropbox. What do I do?
Don't stress! Simply email us your questions or submissions at yearbook@peterkirkptsa.org
Is Dropbox secure or will everyone have access to my submissions?
Our Dropbox is secure and only the PTSA Yearbook Committee has access to your photos. We are very sensitive to the online security of our kids. The submission link is a request to upload photos, but does not give shared access to our account or folder. In fact, once a photo is uploaded, not even the original submitter will be able to view it.
Will photos from this spring be included in the yearbook?
Due to the deadline for when the yearbook has to be submitted, late Spring and early Summer events won't be included in this year's yearbook. We still collect those photos to include them in next year's yearbook. In fact we are still collecting photos from events that took place at the end of last year to be able to include them.
