New Wide Format Printer on display at the Middle School during Back To School night

On Thurs (9-14-18) the Engineering / Technology Department took delivery of their new Wide Format Printer.



 After the installation process was completed, Mr. Medeiros and Mr. Falcon received their initial training with both the printer and the new software.  As a test Mr. Medeiros along with the Installation Technician, created the banner that ended up being used for Back-To-School night. 


In order to really test the resolution of the printer Mr. Falcon created the QR code, seen at the bottom of the poster, to provide a very easy way for parents to visit this website.

As the night progressed we received nothing but positive feedback regarding the poster. Many parents looked forward to hearing what interesting projects the student will be working on that will make use of this new learning tool.

Stay Tuned.
