Baby Photos Needed!!!

It is time to continue a fun tradition as the yearbook is being pulled together–the fifth grade baby pictures page!

To have your fifth grade student’s baby picture included as part of this montage at the end of the yearbook, please email a photo that meets all the criteria listed below to Caitlin Lucci (celucci@nssd112.org) no later than Thursday, March 8.  (This is purely optional but we hope to have as many of our fifth grade students represented as possible!)

The photo should be:
  • a close-up of your child when he/she was one year old or younger
  • of good image quality (the computer program we are using to compile the yearbook won’t accept the photo if it is too pixelated…)
  • an electronic .jpeg file (hard copies will NOT be accepted–if you only have a hard copy please scan it so the file can be emailed and uploaded to our site)
  • in color (the entire yearbook will be printed in color this year!)
  • emailed to celucci@nssd112.org with your child’s name as the subject no later than Thursday, March 8.
Please note that we will zoom/crop/adjust the size as necessary when formatting the page so you don’t need to worry about the dimensions of the image.
If you have any questions please contact Caitlin Lucci (celucci@nssd112.org–please don’t forget the ‘e’–otherwise it will go to Mr. Lucci at Braeside!)
