Yearbook

Online Yearbook Ordering Reminders:

• Online yearbook orders begin September 15th, 2025!
• As long as a student was registered and in our system by September 2nd, the student’s name, grade, and homeroom teacher should be pre-loaded into Josten's online ordering system. 
• Click HERE to order online with a credit or debit card.
• Once on the page for ordering a North Yearbook, search for your child’s legal name (no nicknames) and their grade.  Your student should pop up as a choice.  
  • If you use a nickname, it will add them to our database twice.  This may cause notices to go out that a yearbook has NOT been purchased yet.
  • If you EDIT your child’s name or grade, this could cause the yearbook to go to the wrong student at distribution. This has happened in the past!! 
• If you can’t find your child’s name, have questions, issues, or want to double-check, please contact Mrs. Strom via email at: strommichelle@aasd.k12.wi.us 
• The North secretaries do NOT have access to the Jostens ordering site or the ability to see if your order went through. Please email Mrs. Strom with any questions.

It’s time to get your senior photo taken! If you are using a photographer, please print this and bring it with you at the time of your appointment. Because there are so many photographers to choose from, and students often take their own photos, here are the guidelines you need to know regarding your yearbook headshot.

All senior photos must be turned in by the October 31st due date so that there is time to deal with any issues before the actual pages are due to Jostens. NO EXCEPTIONS! Plan ahead!

Photos should be submitted via email, nhsyearbook@aasd.k12.wi.us, or by using the QR code sent by Mrs. Strom and posted outside of room 1307.

Digital copies are required -- the best way to do this is to have your photographer send in your selected photo. If you only have access to a print copy, you must scan it and email it.

We reserve the rights to reject photos that do not meet the requirements listed below:

• Screenshots and low resolution photos will not be accepted. It is best if the photo file size is at least 1MB.
• The picture must be a standard portrait, head and shoulders ONLY; no hands, raised arms.
• We do NOT edit or crop photos. Photos should be submitted meeting the requirements.
• Vertical pose / portrait oriented (we have found that landscape orientated photos often don’t work since our photo boxes are portrait)
• Photos must be in full color, no black and white, sepia, or loud filters.
• Neutral backgrounds; outdoor shots are acceptable as long as the background is not distracting or bold. Look for greenery, pines, buildings with brick walls, stone walls, columns.
• Attire must be appropriate - no hats, shirts with alcohol or drug references, etc. If wearing a strapless or thin strapped top - please make sure that enough of the top shows in the frame, keeping in mind that part of the top / bottom of the photo may be cut off.
• No props allowed: friends, pets, outside poses with cars / weapons / etc, or backgrounds that are distasteful or loudly colored, etc.

School ID photos may be used. If a photo is not submitted by the October 31st deadline, and a school ID photo is available, the ID photo will be used.

If you have any questions about your senior photo, please contact Ms. Strom. THANK YOU!

Senior parents/guardians, please carefully read the following information regarding your chance to submit a “Yearbook Grad Ad”.

Every year one of the most popular sections in the Appleton North Yearbook is the senior grad ad section. These ads can be sentimental, funny, philosophical, or poetic. But they can’t be late!

Every year we have to say no to disappointed loved ones who had hoped to place an ad to celebrate the graduation of their favorite senior. We apologize but we cannot accept ads after the due date. Space is also limited to 80 ads. Don’t wait until it’s too late.

Click here to create your ad

If you already have a Jostens account (for yearbook purchase) you can use the same login info. All items are on the same site. Families create all ads on the Jostens site. Our yearbook staff will still be proofing ads and may contact you if an issue is found.

• Cost: $35
• Deadline: January 31 (The site closes after the deadline.)

Pictures may be in color or black & white and can be any dimension as they can be electronically sized. Please make sure pictures & messages are school appropriate. The yearbook staff reserves the right to reject ads that aren’t appropriate.

If there are any errors / issues with the ad, Ms. Strom will contact you using the email given.

Any questions, please contact the yearbook advisor:
