Can I have a copy of a photo? Yes, all photos on the site are for our
parents to download. Click on the
magnifying glass at the top of the Photo Slide show when you see the photo you
want to download. After the image is displayed
on your screen, right click on the photo and "save image as" and save the photo
to your desktop. You will be able to
print a high quality photo and have up to an 8x10 print made.

How long will the photos be posted on the
web? The Photo Gallery will have
many folders. Once we have multiple folders with 15 to 50 photos in each folder, the oldest folder will be removed.
Average time a folder is posted depends on what is happening at Augusta
Prep.

If I have photos I want to share, how do I
post them on the web? You may
copy them onto a disc and drop them off in Mrs. Shaffer's box in Morris
Hall. Sending them as attachments in a
email is also a great idea.
