Homework and Computers
Many students use the library computers to type their homework or use the Internet.
Allow yourself plenty of time. If you print, be prepared to pay for your copies and pick them up as soon as they are printed.
Your 5 th grade teachers may teach you how to use your student folder and the school server. You can do this at the library, and librarians can help you if you need assistance.

School Server Information
Your teachers will tell you about using the school server. This information was copied from the school website
Students can access their server folder from any computer with an Internet connection.
Internet Explorer 5.5 - 6.0.X or Netscape 6.0 or Mozilla Firefox 2.0 is required. (IE 7.0 does not work) (ask teacher )
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/
Enter your username without your graduation year . Download and save your file to your home computer, work on it, then Upload it back into your server folder.
For the NetWare WebAccess login screen, click on this URL link.

Using the School Server at the Public Library
You must save your files in order to upload to the server
Saving to the library computers is usually not possible. Just assume that you can’t save to the desktop or hard drive.
