Over the 2018-2019 school year we will be phasing out support for, and the installation of, the Microsoft Office suite for most employees, and all students. We are NOT going to remove the programs from your laptop if you already have them on, but will require anyone who wants to do a new installation to discuss the reasons it is necessary to perform your duties for RCS.
