As many school campuses remain closed throughout the state of California, administrators and teachers are working hard to develop lesson plans for a virtual environment.
With the beginning of the school year closely approaching, we are all preparing for what will certainly be a start like no other. There are still so many concerns around our current pandemic, especially when it comes to schools re-opening. We are concerned not only for the education of students, but for their overall health and well-being as well. Teachers need the resources to provide this safe education.
Entourage Yearbooks recognizes the many adjustments needed to be made to adapt to what we are calling the new “normal.” Read below to find a customizable service we are offering to help you with the uncertain situation of going back to school in California.

Flexible Specifications
One of the concerns around creating a yearbook is estimating how many yearbooks will be sold during a school year and how many pages will be needed. We offer the flexibility of changing your book quantities and page count up until the day you submit for production. This allows you to print ONLY the amount of books you need and you can adjust your page count depending on events, ad sales, etc. If the books arrive or there is interest after you close your initial sales, you will always have the ability to place a re-order… just ask, and we’ll be ready to help.
Final Deadline
Need extra time to complete your book? Along with flexible specifications, Entourage offers flexible deadlines that you can adjust at anytime. You will have until the date of your final approval to make any adjustments to your pages. Once you approve your book for production, you will receive your order in just 28 days from the date of submission. Entourage offers different delivery methods for your school too; keep reading to learn more!
Book Building Services
Creating a yearbook may not be at the top of your priority list this school year, and it doesn’t have to be! Let our Special Project Assistance team (SPA) do all the hard work for you. Even if all you are able to do this year is upload photos, our specialized team of designers is ready to layout templates, insert portrait pages, and even proofread your book before production. What better way to relax about your yearbook creation than visiting our SPA team? Learn more about our book-building services by clicking here.
Next Generation Grant
Teachers are incredibly underfunded and have been for quite some time. This year has put an even greater financial strain on those who have already spent so much out of their own pockets. No one should have to worry about whether they will have enough masks or sanitizers, or even how they can afford remote learning tools. That’s why Entourage created a way for schools to apply for extra funding, wherever they may need it most during the COVID-19 pandemic. We cannot call ourselves the next generation company if we do not find ways to keep the next generation secure. Find out how your school can be qualified today by clicking here.
Individual Shipping
During the spring months, we witnessed many schools needing to close their doors to keep everyone safe and healthy. This put a burden on how to effectively offer yearbook deliveries without creating more stress around the already stressful situation. Entourage quickly came up with options for schools to sign up for an individual shipping method that worked best for their unique situations. Every order is automatically tracked with shipping rates that work for anyone who has chosen the ship-to-home method. We have kept this program in place for any schools who are continuing to stay closed this school year, as we want to encourage those who are helping to stop the curve.
