Printing

Student printing is regulated by network print software. All students have a 100-page printing allotment maximum (50 pages per semester) from the school. Any additional pages are the responsibility of the student, from their home. Students will only be able to print in black and white as there is currently no student color printer. Students can also arrange with their teacher to send their work electronically (via D2L or email).
