Softheld Kinder Yearbooks

Teacher page consent and details

Give your consent and add a few details for your own page in this year's kinder yearbook. About five minutes.

Every teacher gets a page of their own, with a short message and an illustration made from your answers. I write and check every page myself. Once the books are printed they go to your kinder to hand out, and you can buy a copy of your own.

This form needs JavaScript to submit. If that's a problem, email me at Yearbooks@softheldstories.com and I'll help you take part.

Your kinder's code

Your centre director or coordinator has this code — it's the same one families use. If you can't find it, ask them.

Code *

Kinder centre *

Which room or group do you teach? *

About you

Words that will appear on your page

Your full name *

Name to print on your page * However you'd like it to read. For example: Miss Aria, or Ms Rossi, or Alex H. What do you wish for the children in your room, now and as they grow? * (240 characters max) This goes into the words on your page. For example: that they stay as curious as they are right now. Or: that they carry this year's kindness with them. 240 characters left

How you look

Fill in what you can. Specific details help the picture look like you. These written notes go into an AI illustration tool without your name or anything else that identifies you beyond what's here. I check the result against what you tell me.

* Needed for a good likeness

Gender and age * e.g. woman, late 30s Cultural background or heritage only if it helps with how you look Skin tone * e.g. fair, light olive, warm brown, deep brown Hair colour * e.g. dark brown, strawberry blonde, black Hair length * e.g. chin length, shoulder length, very short Hair texture * e.g. straight, loose curls, tight curls, wavy Usual hairstyle e.g. bun, loose waves, short crop Eye colour * e.g. dark brown, blue-grey, green Glasses e.g. round tortoiseshell, blue rectangular Personality e.g. warm, cheerful, calm, patient, playful Distinctive features e.g. freckles, dimples, a beard, rosy cheeks Clothing or anything we might miss e.g. a cardigan, a lanyard, glasses on a chain

Optional reference photo

A photo of you, or just of the details you'd like included

For my eyes only

You can send a photo of yourself, or just photos of details you want me to get right, like glasses, a lanyard, a favourite cardigan or jewellery. Send whatever is easier to show than to write.

I use photos only to check the illustration by eye. They never appear in the book, go to other staff or families, or get uploaded to an AI tool. They aren't stored anywhere. They come to me by email, and I delete that email once your page is approved.

Upload your photos You, the details, or both. Up to two photos. JPG or PNG. Choose photo

I'm not sending a photo. Please use my written description.

Permission

I give permission for my name (as written above), my written answers, and my illustrated likeness to appear in the printed kinder book given to participating families and staff. * I've read how AI is used, in the note below. *

I need both of these ticked before I can make your page.

How AI is used

The only thing an AI tool sees is the anonymised written details from this form, used to make the illustration and the words on your page. No photo, nothing beyond what's written here. I review every page before it goes to print.

You can change or withdraw your permission any time before printing. Just email me. Once printing has started, or copies have gone out, I can't change those.

Email *

Date

I am a staff member of the centre named above, and I'm giving this permission for my own page. Submitting this form counts as my signature. Submitted . A copy is emailed to you for your records.

Your own copy

The finished book comes as a hardcover ($59) or a softcover ($49). You're not ordering or paying now. This just tells me whether to set a copy aside for you. When the books are ready, I'll email you a link to order and pay.

Would you like a copy of the book?

Yes, email me when I can order No thank you

Your kinder will confirm the order dates.Questions or changes: Yearbooks@softheldstories.com.

What happens next

Over the next few weeks I'll make your page, with a short message and an illustration.

The printed books go to your kinder, who hand them out at a time that suits the centre.

I keep your written details only for the year the book is made, then delete them. You can ask me to change or remove them any time before printing.
