Classroom Photo Submission
Thank you for your interest in submitting a class photo for our archive.
Submission requirements must be followed to accommodate a volunteer's schedule. NO more than one submission per week allowed.
Photo Submissions
We can accept Classroom pics that meet our minimum quality requirements. They are:
1. Snapshots from a mobile device camera are not acceptable. They typically are skewed, have glare, corners cut off and more.
2. They must be flatbed scanner-quality from a home-office MFC (multi-function copier), or from a print center found at Staples or similar.
3. The minimum resolution is 2,048 pixels wide by proportional resolution height in RGB color. More pixels are better.
4. PNG or JPG at high-quality 8 or above is acceptable. WEBP files must be converted to PNG/JPG before sending.
Photo Naming Convention
Please use the following format for naming your photos using Upper/Lowercase as noted, and underscore or dash as a separator. Spaces are not permitted.
Format style:
Name-School_Grade#-TeacherName-SchoolYear_ClassYear dot extension-lowercase
Example:
Memorial-School_Gr6-MrsOyVey-1964-1965_Class1971.jpg
If the teacher's name is unknown, skip. Example:

In the case of Kindergarden, some years had AM and PM sessions and need to be noted. Example:
