• Develop engaging layouts, captions, and content that accurately represent students, staff, and school programs.

• Promote academic success of student assistants, and work closely with the community as necessary for sponsorship or promotion within the annual yearbook.
• Maintain communication with students, families, school administration, and community partners.
• Ensure compliance with district policies, school expectations, and Yearbook guidelines.
• Maintain club records, budgets, calendars, and required reports.

• Coordinate yearbook ordering, sales, and marketing throughout the school year.
• Collect payments and maintain accurate financial records in accordance with district financial procedures.
• Maintain inventory records and coordinate final distribution of yearbooks.
• Communicate ordering deadlines and purchasing information to students and families.
• Maintain professional and timely communication with students, parents, staff, school administration, and the yearbook vendor.
• Collaborate with teachers, coaches, club sponsors, and activity advisors to ensure comprehensive event coverage.
• Provide regular progress updates to the Principal and District Athletic Director.
• Promote school pride by highlighting student achievements, academics, athletics, fine arts, clubs, and extracurricular activities.

Organization & Time Management

• Maintain detailed production schedules to ensure all publishing deadlines are met.
• Demonstrate the ability to independently prioritize multiple projects throughout the school year.
• Complete photography, editing, layout, and production tasks outside the regular contract day as necessary.
• Maintain organized digital archives of photographs and yearbook materials for future use.

Safety & Supervision
