ADVISER TO DO LIST

MARCH

General ❑ If you are using Online Sales, note that all online option ordering will be turned off March 15. If you want Walsworth to package all options ordered in-school, enter all in-school orders into Yearbook 360 by March 15. ❑ Start organizing your yearbook room. File printouts. Decide what to do with any unused hard-copy photos, such as sell them to raise money to attend summer workshop. ❑ Columbia Scholastic Press Association national convention is in New York City from March 15-17. Training ❑ When your staff is selected for next year, have a work session with this year’s and next year’s staff. Discuss expectations, summer workshop, summer coverage and summer ad sales. ❑ Attend a spring workshop if your sales rep offers one. These workshops are usually shorter and less detailed than summer workshops, and can get you thinking about next year’s book. ❑ Plan to attend a summer workshop with your staff to brush up on skills, kick off your marketing, and have your staff decide on theme, cover, endsheets and division pages for next year. Go to Workshop Central at walsworthyearbooks.com/workshops to find a workshop. Creating/Submitting ❑ Once your final deadline is submitted, plan the spring supplement and mini-index. Marketing/Sales ❑ Send out a last-chance communication to parents. Tell them only X number of books remain, and they don’t want to miss out. ❑ Check to see when your registration packets go out for next school year and start developing your order form and any additional materials to include. Photography ❑ Have your students enter our Photo Contest. Learn more at walsworthyearbooks.com/contests. Distribution ❑ Begin plans for distribution day. See the distribution eBook at walsworthyearbooks.com/distribution. ❑ Have your staff write and prepare a reader survey to hand out at distribution. ❑ Have your staff write thank you notes to teachers and coaches who helped with the process this year.
