Yearbook Announcement: Senior Photos and Senior Ads!

Please carefully read the information about senior portraits, optional senior ads, and available yearbooks. 

Senior Portrait & Senior Ad Information

Please read everything below carefully. If a senior photo or senior ad attachments are submitted incorrectly, they will NOT be accepted for the yearbook.

Senior Portrait Information

Send all senior portraits to Annastasia Manrose at annastasia.manrose@ankenyschools.org by Friday, February 28th, 2025. There is a $10 late fee for any late senior portraits.

Senior Portrait Requirements

  1. Send senior photos to annastasia.manrose@ankenyschools.org by Friday, February 28th, 2025. There is a $10 late fee for senior photos sent in after the deadline.
  2. Photos MUST be saved in JPG or JPEG format.
  3. Save and title the photos using the following format: Senior’s Last Name_First Name (Example: Smith_Jane).
  4. The subject of your email should read: Senior’s Last Name, First Name Senior Photo (Example: Smith, Jane Senior Photo).
  5. Photos should be vertical (Photographers: a minimum of 2.25” wide, 3” height, and 300 dpi).
  6. “Headshots” are preferred (head and shoulders, eye-level with subject).
  7. No props should be used in the photo.
  8. Do not use special effects or filters. Color photos are strongly preferred to black and white.

Photo Options

Our goal is to have every senior represented and to avoid having to list students as “not pictured” or “camera shy” in the yearbook. There are three ways to have your portrait taken:

  1. Have a portrait taken by a professional photographer.
  2. Use your LifeTouch school photo (Please email Annastasia Manrose at annastasia.manrose@ankenyschools.org to indicate your intent).
  3. Use your phone or camera to take your own portrait. Please make sure to follow the photo requirements.

Note: I will reach out with confirmation within seven days of receiving the senior photo. If I have not confirmed the receipt of the photo after seven days, please forward your original email. Please be patient while awaiting confirmation. 

Senior Ad Information

Send all senior ad materials to Annastasia Manrose at annastasia.manrose@ankenyschools.org by Friday, March 28th, 2025. Late senior ads will not be accepted.
