Work from Home


Access a School Folder

Attention Students - the Work From Home process is not working as it should for everyone. PLEASE, to assure that you will have your work available in school, save a copy of your document(s) to a thumb drive, CD, floppy disc (Drive A), or e-mail it as an attachment to Mrs. Doyle - edoyle@milforded.org.

(You will not be able to access a school folder through AOL.)

Microsoft Office 2007:

Documents created in school will be in the Microsoft Office 2007 format. If you create a document at school that you will want to edit at home with an older version of Microsoft Office, please be sure to save your work as a Word 97-2003 document, Excel 97-2003 Workbook, or PowerPoint 97-2003 Presentation. This will prevent not being able to open your work at home. When you return to school, Microsoft Office 2007 will automatically be able to read this older version of your document.
