Photos should be in focus and high-resolution quality. No cell phone photos, please.
Provide first and last names and grade level (if applicable) of all students, staff members, and other identifiable people in photo captions.
Be sure to include as much information as possible (one to two paragraphs) about your event or program.

Do not submit pictures of children until a photo release form has been secured and filed with you or your school.
For stories related to a holiday or special day (Red Ribbon Week, for example), please send submission within five days of the event.

We receive hundreds of submissions every month and work hard to publish as many as possible. Please understand that it can take up to several weeks after submission for an item to be published.
