Software
(Free)

Windows 95, 98 ME are NOT permitted to connect to the network and, as such, are not eligible for support.

The standard antivirus software is Network Associates McAfee.  We provide this software free of charge to all students when they connect to our network.  Any other virus scanning software may not be supported and may hinder you from connecting to our network.

Personally owned wireless routers are not supported on our network. Use could result in temporary loss of network access.
