A NOTE FOR USB "THUMB" DRIVES:
- If your student has their own SANDISK CRUZER thumb drive, please re-format the thumb drive so that there are no password-protected "U3 System" programs left on the drive. The reason is that the U3 System protection does not work on the school computers, and the students do not have sufficient permissions on the student computers to install any programs the U3 System might require. This makes any data on the drive locked onto he drive and inaccessible at school.
- Any printing of downloaded information (photos, etc.) that needs to be done should be done at home.
- Short, 1-2 page text can be printed at school.
