A Harriton High School student columnist says empty printer trays are making it difficult to print schoolwork.
April Lu described the problem in a Nov. 11 opinion column for The Harriton Banner. The account is a student's assessment, rather than a district inventory report.
For families weighing how paper assignments fit alongside computer use, the school's published guidance still provides for individual laptops. Principal Stuart Warshawer's Aug. 4 letter about the 2026–27 school year says students in grades 9–12 receive a MacBook for schoolwork at school and at home.
The letter leaves teachers in charge of when and how students use those devices. It describes technology as supporting discussion, collaboration and hands-on learning, with instruction in online safety and responsible use of information.
Families can use a parent app to review daily device use and set limits outside school hours. The school also describes stronger internet filtering and a way for parents to recommend websites for review.
Personal laptops are not permitted during the school day, according to the guidance. Students who need help with district devices can visit the school's help desk.
The annual device insurance fee was eliminated for this school year. Deductibles and responsibility for repair or replacement costs still apply.
That August guidance predates Lu's column. It does not discuss printer-paper availability or answer the later concerns about supplies.
