Digital signature of agreement for the following:
Caduceus, the CHS yearbook is a business and operates as such. In addition to producing a product (the yearbook), we raise money to support our business and make it successful. Therefore, staffers must consider their involvement in the journalism program as if it were a part-time job, an internship if you will. If a staffer doesn’t do his or her work or is not a productive member of our organization, it affects our product and our budget.
You will likely be expected to spend time working on the yearbook outside of school. This may include attending school events, taking photos, and/working after school to layout pages and edit (like homework). You will have responsibilities that require you to do work that can’t always be done during the school day. If you play sports, understand that you will have to work extra hard to balance your practice and game schedule with your academics and with yearbook. Time management will be essential.
The spreads we design, stories we write, theme we develop, and photos we capture on a day-to-day basis are strictly confidential. Are you going to be able to keep yearbook information to yourself? Please know spreading information about what we are working on is grounds for dismissal from our class and the Yearbook Team. It is crucial that the yearbook be fresh and special when it is delivered in the spring — not yesterday’s news.
Talking to people will be another huge part of your job. That includes students of all grade levels, teachers, parents, coaches, business owners, and anyone else you may need to interview.
