Signoff

When you are scheduling the time-line for your yearbooks creation, it is very important to leave adequate time for proofing and sign-off by the relevant people at your school. Once you have completed your yearbook you should get each individual teacher who contributed to your yearbook to sign off on their content, each form teacher to sign off on the names of the students in their form and your principal to sign off on the entire yearbook. Depending on the size of your school you may choose to email all relevant people with a PDF copy of your yearbook or to

Sign Off Individual Contributions

Once your yearbook is complete and you have it in PDF form, we suggest you send a copy to every person who contributed to your yearbook to ensure their content is as they intended. Always remember to add in a deadline to prevent delaying your yearbooks' production. Feel free to copy and paste this text to use in your email:

Thank you for your contribution to our school yearbook. The yearbook is now complete and you have the opportunity to have a look over your contribution and ensure it is as you intended. If there are any mistakes please let me know by [DEADLINE]. To download a copy of our yearbook click on the following link: [URL] Thanks.

Form/Home-Room Name Sign Off

Ensuring the correct spelling of names is also a very important aspect of yearbook creation. You may like to consider getting every form teacher/home-room teacher to check over the names of the students in their class to prevent any misspellings:

General Proofing

To help prevent any errors slipping through some schools send a PDF copy of the yearbook to every member of staff prior to production. Here is an email you may like to send to all staff members:

Principal Sign Off

Once your yearbook has been signed off by individual contributors and home-room staff, we recommend showing your yearbook to your principal. This will give your principal the opportunity to ensure everything is aligned with their vision for your school and if not- they will tell you before it is printed!! With the principal's sign off you should aim to get their permission in writing. Below is some text you may like to use in your email:

Our yearbook is now complete. I would like to invite you to have a look over the yearbook and ensure you are happy with our final yearbook before we commence production. To prevent delaying our delivery date please let me know if you require any changes by [DEADLINE]. To download a copy of our yearbook click on the following link: [URL] Thanks.

Once you have completed your internal sign-off within your school and are happy with the final PDF proof supplied by Fusion Books and PRIOR to your Editor's Deadline (at least one month prior to your Delivery Date) we will provide you with the text for official sign-off, simply copy and paste into a new email and we will commence production.
