Before the cameras start clicking and the captions start flowing, there’s a bit of groundwork to lay. This pre-yearbook creation checklist is your go-to guide for setting up your team for success. From choosing the right communication tools to making sure your equipment’s in working order, these steps will help you build a strong foundation before the real fun begins.

COMMUNICATION PLANNING

Before your team dives into deadlines and design, make sure that everyone knows how to keep in touch. Choose a communication platform that works for your group. The key is to keep chats, updates, and file sharing all in one place so that nothing slips through the cracks.

BUILD A CONTACT LIST

Gather social media handles, staff emails, club contacts, and even parent volunteers. This makes it easier to track down quotes, confirm details, and stay in the loop with school and community events. Just make sure everyone on the list knows they might hear from your team.
