The purpose behind the pages
More than a yearbook. A promise.
The Yearbook App exists to make room for every student and honor every staff member — with fairness, inclusion, memory and humanity. No one should slip through the cracks.

Common questions.
No. The Yearbook App is a workspace for collecting, reviewing and organizing photos, stories and school information. We do not create a yearbook for your school. We do not provide desktop publishing, page layout, book publishing, printing, binding or delivery. You decide which submitted or uploaded materials to use and how to use them, whether for your school-year yearbook or another school project, subject to contributor permissions, school policies and applicable law. If you choose to make a yearbook, you use your own layout tools and your own printing company. Uploading, approving or saving material here does not place it in a finished book or publish it.
