Students will have access to network cloud printers within their school building however, we are trying to avoid sharing of any materials, including paper assignments and handouts. One of the features of our decision to use Chrome devices, Google applications, and Canvas is the ability to share classwork with other students and staff without printing a document. This not only saves contamination in this time of a pandemic, but is ecologically responsible in our global community.
