Parents!
Did your child miss Photo Day at school?
No worries! Here is how we can get your child in the 2021 Yearbook!
Choose an appropriate portrait photo from your camera roll or take one on the spot and
upload it through ybkplus.com.
Here's How…
On your phone, go to www.ybkplus.com.
Once on the site, you will enter the email that is on file with the school.
A code will then be emailed to you to verify identity.
Choose My Portrait (the first choice at the top), select the photo (from the camera roll on your phone) you want to use as your child’s portrait, make sure your child’s face fits inside the face opening, then submit!
You can watch a video here: https://bit.ly/3af3n1r
The yearbook staff reserves the right to reject any photo that does not accurately represent the student identified, does not follow proper student dress code and/or does not meet publications standards.
Thanks for your help! We’re working hard on creating a yearbook that captures this historic school year. If you haven’t already ordered yours, you can do so at jostensyearbooks.com, or go to Lanier’s website at https://www.houstonisd.org/lanier to order.

When to stay home and other steps Lanier students, teachers, and staff should take to protect themselves and prevent the spread of COVID-19.
Lanier students, staff, and teachers should stay home if they have tested positive for SARS-CoV-2, are showing symptoms of COVID-19, or have recently had close contact with a person with COVID-19, including household members. Students or staff who have family members who test positive for SARS-CoV-2 should stay home, notify Nurse Hechler, self-quarantine and continue to monitor symptoms.
Nurse Hechler will approve your return to school date.
Nurse Hechler has noted that, through contact tracing, 90% of exposures and positive cases come from after school/weekend get togethers where masks are not worn. Meeting with people outside of your household for meals & parties is risky. You are at your most vulnerable in these situations – mask off, less than 6 feet apart for longer than 15 minutes.
Stay vigilant and safe, Lanier Family!
