Start by sending us your Portrait Images
If you used a professional school photographer to take your school photos have them send files to us! This ensures the images get uploaded with names attached to them and enables you to use the Flow Feature.
Please make sure they include your School Name and Job Number.
Tell us how you want them sorted for you either by Grade, Homeroom/room number, or Teacher.
Note: if you have a teacher with the name last name, please us a first initial.
- Portrait links can be forwarded to support@schoolannual.com
- Portrait Files can be sent to us using our File Transfer website schoolannual.wetransfer.com
- Portrait CD can be sent to us to upload your files.
If you haven't received your portrait images yet, you will want to contact your photographer and request them. You can continue to get things ready without them, but cannot complete the Flow process.

Getting Ready For Your Photos
Before you set up, you can also transfer your files from last year to the current year.
Image Library (Create Tab > Image Library) is the main tool for managing all your images. Let's focus first on collecting and sorting your Activity images and Portrait images. These will make up the majority of your yearbook content. It helps to create image folders that organize the same way you work.
As seen here:
You may find that creating folders that are named the same as your Page Ladder content makes it easy for you and any helpers you have to quickly organize the images you receive. If you're in a small school, you may find that a folder for each child is the better way to go.
- To make the folder the same as your Page Ladder you could name it the following:
- 02/03 - Staff Images
- 04/05 - First Day of School
- 06/07 - Random School Images
You'll learn the best way to label and send the printed photographs you receive, upload and download your digital images, and also how to delete images you know you won't need.
Helpful Tips:
- You could make a "reserve" folder.
- This would be for images you might not use now but might need to fill space(s) letter.
- There is no such thing as too many photos.
- Start by making a folder for Activities that are held every year.
- If you feel you have too many subfolders, you can make a subfolder within the subfolder.
- Activity > Field Trip > Nature Lodge Reserve
- > Nature Walk
- > Science Camp
