Parents of Seniors: THE SENIOR PROJECT PARENT PRESENTATION will begin at 6:00 pm in the Presentation Room

Senior pictures are due by November 7, 2023. The date is important because of the deadlines we are given by the Yearbook printer. Late pictures are defined as any picture turned in after 5:00 pm, November 7, 2020. For seniors who do not submit a yearbook photo, their Lifetouch picture will be included, if appropriate.

The goal of the Cape Cod Regional Tech Yearbook is to have the student’s face as the focus of the picture as well as to keep a similarity amongst the senior portraits. Therefore, we would appreciate your support of the following requirements for senior pictures to be included in the senior portrait section of the Yearbook.

Please submit one color .jpg file picture that follows each guideline listed:

* resolution must be 300 dpi (ppi) or greater

* image size 2.5 inches wide by 3.5 inches tall

Student Dress Code In order to create a positive environment conducive to learning, students are to be appropriately and neatly dressed. If a student’s general attire or appearance represents a danger to his/her health or welfare, or attracts undue attention to the extent that it becomes a disruptive factor in the school, the student will be asked to make necessary changes. Repeated infractions will be subject to discipline. Each shop has the right to establish footwear, dress, uniform, hair and jewelry standards as prescribed by written policy. Failure to follow shop or school dress code may result in disciplinary action. Parents may be called to bring in clothing items for the student to wear. 1. Clothing which feature offensive and/or vulgar words, pictures or drawings or phrases of a sexual nature or that have derogatory language regarding a person’s ethnic background, origin, religious beliefs, sexual orientation or disability is not permitted. 2. Clothing which represents any group, gang, organization which advocates violence is not permitted. 3. Clothing which features alcohol, tobacco, weapons, or illegal drugs is not permitted. 4, The wearing of clothing which is unduly revealing, ie: tank tops, exposing undergarments, short shorts, and short skirts is not permitted. Leggings, tights, yoga pants and any other extremely form fitting apparel are considered an accessory and must be worn with dress/skirt or shorts. Hat/Hood/Headwear Policy As part of the school dress code, students are not allowed to wear hats, hoods, or other headwear in any school building during a regular school day from the opening of the building in the morning until the conclusion of the school day unless otherwise instructed by the administration or shop teacher. Upon entering the building, the student should remove his/her hat or headwear and properly secure it either in his/her pocket, backpack or locker. Students who forget will be given a reminder. Students who continually disobey this rule will face consequences according to the Students’ Code of Conduct, possible confiscation of unauthorized headwear may be required and will require retrieval from parent/guardian.

* no watermarks

Decisions for inclusion will be limited to the Yearbook Adviser, and Principal.

Students may choose any photography studio to have their pictures taken. It is the responsibility of the student and/or parent/guardian to make sure that the picture submitted meets all of our requirements in order to be included in the senior portrait section.

The Yearbook staff members and adviser are not responsible for any photo edits that may be needed on submitted pictures in order to meet stated rules for acceptance. The staff and adviser reserve the right to crop pictures for space and content.
