2021-22 BVNW Publications Application
Thank you for considering joining BVNW Publications as a member of the newspaper or yearbook staff. You and your parents must sign that you have read and understood the policies for which you will be held accountable, if you are selected for a staff position. That form is in a link in the last question of the application. If you have any trouble, please come see me. You must submit this application by midnight Feb. 28, 2021 to be considered. Be sure to tell your counselor you are applying to be on either the newspaper or yearbook staff. Fill out the application completely and submit by Feb. 28. You must also drop off the examples of your work in room 902 along with the signed policy manual receipt for your application to be complete. I will not post the first round of accepted candidates until after Spring Break and then the final staff list will be posted near the end of May. If you are currently in Journalism or Photo or Digital Imaging, you need to fill out the application by the deadline, but you can submit your work in mid April. If you have any questions, please see Mr. McCrossen in room 902. I look forward to reviewing your application.
