GRYPHON MISSION BRIEFING
For Wednesday, January 27, 2016 – “N” classes
2015-16 L&N Student Mission – Own it!
School Ops:
·
Update – students are no longer allowed to use the poster printer located
in the workspace behind the art classroom unless accompanied by a teacher. We’ve had a drink of some sort spilled on it
and paper jammed without anyone let someone who could fix it know about
it. We have to restrict use to preserve
its life. We cannot afford to replace
it!
