The Arrow yearbook staff is responsible for creating an annual publication that becomes the permanent record of the school and the school population we serve. The publication we create will serve as a record/history book, memory book, business venture, classroom laboratory and public relations tool for the district. The Arrow staff adheres to the NSPA Code of Ethics. The Arrow functions as a public forum, and editors are responsible for all content decisions.
In the event of a death of a student or staff member during the school year, The Arrow will provide a quarter page ad at no cost to the family. This dedication will be placed in the ads or index section, depending on the date of death. It will include the name of the deceased, a picture of the person (if available), and the class year, or years the person worked at AAI. If the family or friends would like more than a quarter page (provided there is room in the book), they must pay the monetary difference between the quarter page and the size desired. The family may help design the ad and provide additional photos. The latest a memorial ad can be submitted is February 1. In the event that this deadline cannot be met, the family may opt to include the ad in a future volume of The Arrow. If the death occurred during the commission of a crime, The Arrow reserves the right to exclude the memorial ad.
The list of students who opt out of all media, including the yearbook, in the Parental Bill of Rights will be pulled at the progress report distribution date of the first quarter. Parents will be contacted to ensure that they DO NOT wish their child to be photographed for the yearbook. The yearbook staff will do their best to ensure that these students will not be photographed or identified in the yearbook in any way. However, including a photo of their likeness may be unavoidable if they are in a large crowd at a pep rally, classroom, assembly or sporting event, etc. Their names will not be used. Students opting out of all media should NOT attend Club Picture Day or Sports Team Photo Day.
