Frequently Asked Questions - Senior Quotes
Senior Quotes are free. Senior quotes are a privilege. As such you must follow the written guidelines on the form for your quote to be published. All quotes are subject to review by the school administration. Quotes that do not follow the written guidelines on the form will be rejected and will be excluded from the yearbook
​
Where do I send my quote?
Please send it via email to castaicyearbook@hartdistrict.org
​
Is this a good quote?
Please do not ask the staff by asking if we like the quote or if it is appropriate. We really do care about your quote, but we are just out numbered. There are over 300 seniors that submit quotes. If you are uncertain, just read the guidelines.
​
Can I turn in your quote at the very last minute?
you can actually turn it in early. We would really appreciate it if you did.
​
When is the last day to turn in late quotes?
NOVEMBER 11​
​
Is it okay if I say something bad in my quote?
This is going to be printed in a book that people hang on to their entire life. Years from now, is that really how you want to be remembered? Also, administration reviews all quotes before they are selected to be included in the yearbook. Quotes with questionable content will be rejected. If you are uncertain, just read the guidelines.
​
When/How will I know if my quote was approved?
We intend to review every quote after November 11. We will try to notify you if your quote was rejected. It can take us at least two weeks to return quotes rejected by yearbook staff members. All the quotes approved by staff are later read by school administration. Administration can choose to reject a quote without notice at any time.
I forgot what I put as my quote. Could you tell me?
Sorry, we just don’t have time to take this request. We would post every quote online for you to look up but we believe it adds interest to the book to keep all the quotes secret until the book arrives…even from you.
I submitted more than one quote by completing the form more than once. Which quote will you print?
We will print the most recent quote that was submitted by the deadline.
Do I have to use spaces in my quote?
Yourteachershaveworkedhard tomakeyouallbetterwriters. Wetakepridein qualitywritingatCastaic. So, yeah...spaces between words are mandatory.
​
Can’t we just make shout-outs to our friends? Please, we are best friends.
You can sign each other’s yearbook once they are distributed. However, unfortunately, we can’t accept quotes that reference other people on campus. This has been our policy for a long time. All it takes is for one person to say something that upsets another student for things to go wrong. We are not keeping a record of who approves of being mentioned in a shout out by another particular student and we do not have time to inquire who does or does not want to be mentioned in another student's shout out. After training we have about 90 school days to produce a 300+ page book, we meet for 1 hour a day. When we say we don’t have time, it is not to be rude. It is just that we actually do not have time.
​​
Can I use emoji in my quote?
No. emoji are too informal and would distract from all of your beautiful faces.
The senior quote is a formal quote next to your formal portrait. It is just not the time or place for emoji, sorry.
Can I use a weblink as my quote?
No. A link does not sound offensive but what can potentially be put on a webpage could be.
​
Can I direct people to a timestamp to a TV show or movie in my quote?
No. We just do not have the time or the access to check what you are trying to reference in such a quote.
​
Can I say something that offensive and may upset other people on campus? or perhaps something sexually explicit?
No. The yearbook is for everybody. Why would we bother to print something that could offend people?
