Using the Library Printers

  • Students have access to the printers in the library for school assignments. 
  • Students must share or email their document(s) to the librarian.
  • Students should share their document(s) BEFORE leaving the classroom. Documents can also be sent from off campus locations such as home. 
  • To help expedite the printing process, students should get in the habit of sending their projects for printing from wherever they are when work is completed, but PRIOR to submitting to teachers through Google Classroom or Schoology at which time ownership is transferred from the student to the teacher.  An alternative is to make a copy of your document prior to submitting work.  Not only is this a good habit to form, but the copy can be sent for printing, although work has already been submitted.
  • Students should bring Chromebooks when coming to pick up their print jobs in case failures occur or editing needs arise.
  • WEBSITES and PICTURES must be copied and pasted into a document before sending.  
  • I cannot print solid backgrounds or dark and bold colors that consume large portions of the page.
  •  Documents can either be emailed or shared to:
