Tech team is here to help all of you. If any of you need help downloading your "learning schedule", or hooking up any of your machines, or other general questions.

Please ask us. We are Christa, Paula, Carroll, Michelle Dunavant, and Colleen.

Just the Facts:

  • Every single time a student uses the computer, he/she should log on.
  • At this time, you may use your printer with your new desktop MAC. However, this is a one-to-one correspondence. We are working on networking the printers. This job will be done in a week or so.

3. Click on the word "pop ups" - so that the check mark is removed.
