IF your schools web server has FP extensions installed on it...you should
Publish the site down to your machine so you have a valid working copy on
your machine.
Then you can edit and view it to your hearts content without messing with
the server.
All images that you intend to add to the web/site should first be resized,
optimized, etc, then Imported into your local FP web/site. THEN placed into
your design (from the imported file within FP). Then save the page and
Publish via
http://www.yourweb.com (org, edu, whatever).
Sounds like you are working with loose pages or without first actually
opening the web.
Yes, you can work with the live server too, but it's much safer working
locally and them Publishing to the server.
Copying to the server is not the same thing as Publishing.

if

the
