Photography Equipment Use and Checkout Permission Slip
The
photography program at Streamwood
High School is extremely
fortunate to be able to offer our students the opportunity to use and checkout
quality 35mm adjustable cameras, digital cameras, and other pieces of
photographic equipment. Maintaining a collection of cameras and equipment is an
expensive endeavor, therefore it is extremely important that students take
great care in handling the tools provided.
