Submission Process

Email your photo to WHS.Yearbook@myhhcs.org

  1. Receive a confirmation email from the WHS yearbook upon receipt of your photograph when from a photographer other than Expressions. We do NOT send confirmation when photos from Expressions are received, as they are ALL sent in one file at the same time once Expressions has finished editing.

  2. The WHS Yearbook Staff reviews your photo to make sure it fits the above requirements.

    1. IF YOUR PHOTO IS ACCEPTED, you will not receive any communication beyond the initial confirmation email (most submitted photos are accepted).

      • We check photos, at minimum, once per week. 

    2. IF YOUR PHOTO IS REJECTED, you will receive an email stating the reason for rejection. If you would like to resubmit, please select a new photograph that meets the requirements, and email the new photograph within one week of receipt of a rejection email.

    3. LATE SUBMISSIONS have a small chance of being included in the book, but there is no guarantee. If they are able to be included, they may not be in alphabetical order.

 

NOTE: We are NOT RESPONSIBLE for printing photos we don't receive! If you do not receive a confirmation email, contact the adviser. If you did not receive a confirmation email, then we DID NOT receive your picture. Please resubmit or email the yearbook adviser at WHS.yearbook@myhhcs.org only. NO confirmation emails are sent for photos taken by Expressions either at their studio or at Wayne.

 

OTHER NOTES:

  • Do not resize a low-resolution image to meet the minimum size requirements. Pixelated images will be rejected.

  • Outdoor backgrounds can be used, but are not suggested unless used by a professional photographer.

  • Some cropping may occur.

  • There should be no special filters or graphics added to the photograph.

  • There should be no props in the photograph.

  • Avoid putting hands near the face (leaning on fist, hand in hair, etc.). 

  • Photos with hand gestures will be rejected.

  • Full-body photos are not recommended because your image will be very small.

  • The yearbook does not resize your photos. The image received is uploaded to our software as is and may be automatically cropped by our software. We are unable to adjust it.

Cell Phones During School Hours
Cynthia McDonald

 


 

Recently, Governor DeWine, Lt. Governor Jon Husted, and Department of Education and Workforce Director Stephen D. Dackin announced the publication of a model policy designed to minimize student use of cell phones during school hours. This model policy prohibits or discourages students from using cell phones or similar electronic communication devices on school property during school hours. Students must keep their cell phones in a secure place such as their locker, a closed backpack, or a storage device provided by the district, whenever cell phone use is prohibited.

Exceptions to the policy include cases when students must use their cell phones for a documented purpose as part of an Individualized Education Program (IEP) or for monitoring a health concern.

The Department created the model cell phone policy as part of the requirements of House Bill 250, recently signed into law by Governor DeWine.  H.B. 250 mandates every school district in the state to establish an official policy governing cell phone usage and emphasizes limiting cell phones to the greatest extent possible by July 1, 2025.

We are communicating this information with you now to begin changing the mindset of students and families. Recent research shows that students are more engaged in their learning when they are not tempted by their devices. Far too many students are focused on engaging with peers which often results in various school issues. We want to partner with you to help students use their time wisely and support their intellectual growth. 

School districts have the option to adopt the Department’s model policy or create their own policy, provided it meets all the requirements within H.B. 250. Wayne High School, and Huber Heights City Schools, will be engaging with the school community during the year to gather feedback on this important topic. We will communicate the adopted cell phone policy once finalized. Until then, we ask that students follow their classroom teacher’s expectations regarding cell phone use. 

Thank you for your cooperation and support.
