Below is a simple, local guide for Boise School District and West Ada (Meridian/Eagle) high schools: what to submit, where to upload, and how to avoid last-minute surprises. I’ll also flag the schools that have already posted this year’s dates so you can check them off your list early.

Some Boise SD campuses schedule standardized on-campus senior headshots for the official yearbook pose (often called “tux & drape”). Your pro photo can still be used elsewhere (senior ads, announcements, prints) even if the school requires the on-campus headshot. Always follow the link on your school’s page for the exact rules this year. boise.boiseschools.org

What Schools Usually Require (so your file gets accepted)

Use this checklist with your photographer and when you upload:

1. Orientation & crop: Vertical, head-and-shoulders framing.

2. File type & size: High-resolution JPG (commonly 300 dpi); avoid heavy filters or watermarks.

3. Background & attire: Clean, distraction-free background; school-appropriate clothing.

4. File naming: Often “Lastname_Firstname.jpg.”

5. Submission method: Many West Ada schools use Yearbook Snap with a campus-specific access code; follow the portal linked on your school’s page. Snap Yearbook Forever

Step-by-Step: Submit on Time (and Skip the Panic)

1. Open your school’s link above and note the portrait deadline + upload method.

   • Meridian High families: the due date is Dec 1, 2025. West Ada School District

3. Tell your photographer your school’s specs (orientation, background, file type, naming).

4. Upload correctly via the school’s portal (Yearbook Snap/Jostens/mydorian). Save your confirmation email/screenshot.

5. Verify placement if your school offers a proofing window (name spelling, correct image).

FAQ

Can I use my professional senior picture in the yearbook?
Often yes—if it meets your school’s specs and deadline. Some Boise SD schools still require an on-campus headshot for the official pose; your pro image is perfect for senior ads and announcements either way. Check your school’s link above for the final word.

Where do I upload community photos (sports, clubs, candids)?
If your school uses Yearbook Snap, you’ll upload them in that portal with the school’s access code. Snap Yearbook Forever

What about senior ads?
Mountain View has posted Oct 31 for senior ads; other schools publish ad deadlines on their yearbook pages—watch those links.
