Order Yearbook 2017-18
Order your yearbook now and save! All orders placed by October 31st will receive a 10% discount off the $25 price ($6.95 to upgrade to a hard cover). You will be able to create two custom pages in your child's book if you like. What a way to make your child's yearbook super special!

If you have any questions about the yearbook, contact Jen Forcash, our yearbook committee chairperson.

​NOTE: You can skip Step 3 below if you don't plan on using these features in your child's yearbook. There is no obligation. A standard set of pages will be used in its place.

Our new vendor, TreeRing, is focused on GOING GREEN. They will plant a tree in Walker School's honor for every yearbook purchased!! Walker School PTO will also receive $6.78 back from TreeRing for every yearbook purchased. These funds will be used to support other PTO events and projects. 

STEP 2: Upload Photos​

Once you order your yearbook, you can upload photos or add memories (optional) to TreeRing to use on your child's custom 2 pages in the book. These pages will be specific to your child's book and you are welcome to put in whatever photos you like. If you choose not to do the custom pages, that's okay too. There will be a generic page of photos used that include students in the whole school.
 
Via Computer:
  1. Go to www.treering.com and log in with the same login you created above.
  2. Click on the “4. Add Photos” icon at the top of the home page.
  3. Click on “My 2016-2017 Memories” or your child's folder and then click on "Add Photos".
  4. Select photos from your computer. If you have a lot, you can click on "Minimize" and it will upload them in the background so you can continue working on other things.
 
Via Smartphone:
  1. Go to the app store and search for TreeRing Yearbook and install it.
  2. Login with the same username and password you used to order your yearbook.
  3. To upload a photo, click on the green + button in the lower right corner and select "Photo".
  4. Click on the photo(s) you want to upload and click "Next".
  5. Then select your child that the photos are for (will see each child if you have more than one) and click "Done". You can also select "Share with Walker School" if you have photos to be used in the general yearbook.
Notes:
  •  For Android users: You will see your photos in the "Mobile Photos" folder, as well as in the "All My Photos" view. 
  • For iPhone users: You will see your photos in the "All My Photos" view but they will not appear in the "Mobile Photos" folder. 
  • If you upload photos and don't see them in "All My Photos", refresh your browser.
  • If you would prefer to skip the "Memories" portion of uploading, feel free to do so. This is something you can use when creating your custom pages if you like but not required.

STEP 3: Creating Your Custom Pages

Complete this step by Friday, April 20th, 2018

​Once you have ordered your child's yearbook and have uploaded photos to TreeRing, you can now begin creating your child's custom two pages for the yearbook.
 
If you decide NOT to create your child's custom two pages, a default set of pages will be included that have photos of each grade that were taken at the Gymnastics Unit.

NOTE:  DO NOT USE THE SMARTPHONE OR TABLET APP TO CREATE THESE CUSTOM PAGES. IT IS A NEW FEATURE AND HAS MANY ISSUES. MAKE SURE TO WORK FROM A LAPTOP OR COMPUTER.

To Create Custom Pages:
  1. Go to www.treering.com and log in with the same login you used to order yearbooks.
  2. Click on the "5. Edit Book" icon at the top of the home page.
  3. Click on the icon for the two pages shown.
    Note: You can order even more pages for your child's book for an extra cost.
  4. The gray boxes that say "Drop Photo Here" are placeholders you can use for your photos. Feel free to use them or delete them and create your own custom design.
  5. Below the two-page spread, you will see options for "Add a Photo", "Add a Memory", "Add a Graphic", or "Add Text".
  6. Click on "Add a Photo" to view all photos that are uploaded and available to use in your book. Any photos you have uploaded will be available in "All My Photos". Also, you have access to photos in other shared folders. Just change the drop-down menu from "My Folders" to "Shared Folders/Photos" and change the second drop-down menu to the folder you want to view.
  7. Then, just drag and drop them onto the page as you like.
    – You can scale, adjust, rotate, crop, etc., each photo. Just click on the photo and select "Style", "Effects", or "Edit" to view all the options for that photo.
  8. Feel free to create these custom pages any way you like.
 
If you are having any issues or need help with creating your custom pages, contact your classroom photographer for assistance.

YEARBOOK SALES 2016-17 – THANK YOU!!!!
Thank you to everybody who purchased yearbooks, created custom pages and took photos for the 2016-17 school year. We had so many great photos to choose from! 

Our school purchased 257 yearbooks! That means more than 80% of the student body have purchased a book (with 95% of families participating). Not only does your child get to keep a book full of memories from the year, TreeRing will plant 257 trees in our school's honor. Here's what happens...

TreeRing Corporation, in partnership with Trees for the Future, is proud to plant trees in honor of your organization’s yearbook purchases during the year. This grove of trees is being planted by local families in countries devastated by deforestation and global climate change. These fast-growing, permanent trees protect fragile ecosystems and assure that families can continue to live in harmony with the natural resources of their lands. Each year these trees will replace many tons of pollution from the atmosphere with life giving oxygen. Thank you for joining our commitment to the environment and helping to ensure a healthy planet for our children’s future.

And if that weren't enough, as a result of these purchases, TreeRing will give back to Walker PTO a check for $1,681.44!!! This money will be used to support other PTO projects throughout the year. 

We couldn't have done this without your support.
Thank you from the Yearbook Team!
