Senior Quote Submission Guidelines

Policies and Procedures

Seniors who order a yearbook by 10/23/2020 have the option of including a quote in their year’s yearbook. 

All quotes must be school-appropriate and you must get parental and administrative approval for your quote to be published.  Failure to follow guidelines will result in the exclusion of your quote. We will not publish the following: 
  • Anything that is not commonly understandable (including abbreviations, creative spelling or acronyms). Anything that is a hidden reference.  
  • Specific references to other people.
  • References to illegal substances/activities.  
  • Anything school - inappropriate or not in compliance with student rules.
  • NO shout - outs to or about other students or teachers. This rule is in place because of the potential of a quote offending the person it references. We do not have the time to check and keep records of who does/does not approve of being mentioned in another student’s quote. 
  • Quotes must be spell - checked and accurate to the attributed source. 
  • Space is limited to 100 letters, numbers, spaces (Yes, spaces between words count and need to be included) and punctuation – including the name of the person quoted.   Please use the lines below to determine the length of your quote.  Quotes that don’t fit the spaces will not be printed. 
The SDHS Yearbook reserves the right to edit, censor or omit quotes without notice.  If you aren’t sure whether or not your quote will pass this review or if you have a question, contact us before the due date.
Seniors are given ONE opportunity to submit an acceptable quote! NO SECOND CHANCES! NO REVISIONS!

Procedure:
Yearbook staff collects sales data from the SDHS Financial Office, and Jostens online sales.  Eligible seniors will then receive form, with their name on it, which needs to be completed, including Parent/Guardian approval AND Vice Principal approval.  Students must also submit their quote online using the link on the form.

If approved, your senior quote will appear in the portrait section of the yearbook but not necessarily next to your photo.
