Mission Statement
The mission of the Topeka Public Schools Printing Services is to provide quality printed materials and services that serve to support the students and staff of this district in the most accommodating, innovative, and creative manner possible. It is Printing Services' mission to support the vision, goals, and objectives of the Topeka Public Schools Unified School District 501.
Introduction
Print Shop operations are typically responsible for production of all district publications, forms, and instructional materials. It is designed to provide the staff of the entire school district with a central resource for printing needs. Whether your project is completed "in house" or by a commercial vendor, our service will coordinate all activities required for production. As an efficient and cost-effective support service operation, we produce high quality printing and other services at rates that commercial printing vendors cannot match.
Any staff member of Topeka Public Schools may utilize Printing Services for projects directly related to his or her class, school, or office with the proper administrator's approval.
Peak Periods
The start of the school year is our busiest time. It is recommended that you get your projects in at the beginning of summer prior to the new school year so that they will be ready for the start of the school year.
Ending the school year is also hectic and projects need to be in as early as possible as we will be printing commencement programs and memory books.
Call Printing Services for an estimation of the time involved. This allows us to schedule the project. Large production projects should be discussed far in advance so we can schedule and have supplies on hand for completion. Program of Studies, major brochure mailings, districtwide publications and most large comb bound projects should be discussed prior to being sent to the Print Shop. If the volume is too large we may need to send the job out to a commercial printer.
Location, Phone Number, and Hours
Printing Services is housed in the USD 501 Service Center. Upon entering the front door of the Service Center, you will check in at the front door of the Service Center and proceed to the second door immediately to your left.
