Yearbook+
Yearbook+ combines cutting-edge technology and crowd-sourced content to create the world’s most inclusive, interactive yearbook. It empowers every student to represent who they truly are and feel celebrated as an individual and within the school community.
- Each student can upload up to 10 of their favorite pictures to "My Year" to tell their story, their way. Everyone's story deserves to be shared in the yearbook.
- Students can upload pictures from school sports, clubs and organizations to "School Life" to bring the year to life. It's all about sharing candid moments and celebrating connection.
- There are no "likes" within the Yearbook Plus platform, and students are not allowed to comment on photos. This ensures that the Yearbook+ experience is filled with nothing but positive energy and treasured memories.
- We've blended a time-honored tradition with modern technology. When the yearbook comes out, students can scan printed photos to unlock the digital photos that their peers uploaded.
