They do a class picture that is included in most school picture packages. I purchase the a la carte package (i.e. the cheapest!) but I honestly wouldn't do a yearbook in elementary or possibly even middle school. I have my high school and college ones and I can count on one hand the number of times I've looked at any of them in last 10 years.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17913754866057778005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24014954.post-84788496434012731992013-10-20T12:12:45.105-04:002013-10-20T12:12:45.105-04:00Every year my mom had ordered my and my sister a y...Every year my mom had ordered my and my sister a yearbook.(even though we are twins). They are more expensive in high school though($70) so we had to pay half. Before that elementary and middle school my mom always preordered them and paid the full price. She always got a yearbook every year and we really enjoy them. I have them all lined up on a shelf Kindergarden- 9th grade. I'm in 10th now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24014954.post-4746258334762238362013-10-19T19:39:36.753-04:002013-10-19T19:39:36.753-04:00Our school district yearbooks are only 15 dollars,...Our school district yearbooks are only 15 dollars, so it's not as expensive. Still, I have 2 kids in the elementary school (will soon be 3) and since it's the same book for both of them, I've only ever ordered 1 - it's a few days of fun for the kids then ends up on a shelf somewhere... I don't really know whether the kids will ever look back on them but it's nice to have their school pics all together in one bookMelanie Alcocknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24014954.post-13964003055006604862013-10-19T18:59:53.445-04:002013-10-19T18:59:53.445-04:00Our yearbooks cost $11.

If I had multiple children, I would only buy one. <br /><br />I can't tell you the number of times we've pulled the books out and looked at them. We looked kids up in the book. We looked back over the photo collages. They don't just get purchased in our house-- they get used. <br /><br />I bought my senior yearbook. It was $50 and I didn't have money for it any other year. <br /><br />You have to do what works best for you. $30 each is ridiculous. If it was priced more in line of the ones that we offer, I could see it be more of a possibility.

I don't understand elementary schools asking for $30 for yearbooks! We never had them when I was a kid, and I would be really conflicted, as you are, if we had expensive hard-bound versions. Maybe you can make the suggestion of the paper ones. Much, much better, and a more appropriate keepsake for the elementary school years.Beccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14963099760885760598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24014954.post-57424332613463048872013-10-19T09:41:50.916-04:002013-10-19T09:41:50.916-04:00I do not remember getting yearbooks in elementary ...I do not remember getting yearbooks in elementary school (which went to sixth grade where I lived). There may not have even been that option (I graduated in 1995). I do have my 8th grade through 12th grade yearbooks and look at them on occasion. Our oldest is in kindergarten this year and I saw something on the school's website about yearbooks. I couldn't believe they had that option this early on! I highly doubt we will get yearbooks until he is in junior high (same for his brother) UNLESS he mentions that he wants one.<br /><br />P.S. We will get school photos. That is a given. I take thousands of photos of the kids every year, but there is something about school photos. Thomas has had his "school" photo since he was two and in day care; his brother got his first "school" photo last year, and they love looking at them on their walls and pointing them out to people, so yes, we will do school photos.Stacey Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14352989875183758588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24014954.post-64136345555738442112013-10-19T08:19:10.514-04:002013-10-19T08:19:10.514-04:00We do the last year of elementary school and that ...We do the last year of elementary school and that is it. They never look back at them and it is a huge waste of money. They might spend an hour or two signing but even that is different than it used to be. There are so many other ways to stay in touch beyond a phone number in a yearbook. If it is that big of a deal at her school, take her out during that time. Use the money to get ice cream together and don't think twice about it. We have three kiddos and were caught by parent guilt a year or two but then realized it was a waste of money. They are 17, 15, and 13 and don't seem to be traumatized and certainly weren't alone in not having them. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
