When taking pictures for websites or the newspaper, make sure your camera is set on a high resolution so that you will get good high quality photographs. Close-up action pictures are much more interesting than lines of children standing at attention against a wall. Send your picture attachment in an email to your webmaster or newspaper contact along with a paragraph explaining what the photograph is about. Photo Release Forms should be signed and on file for all the students in the pictures.
