Lab Rules

• All students must be network approved in order to use computers in the classroom. If your ID is not marked as network approved, you will need to take a brief quiz and have your parent sign a form allowing you use of computers. Class, school, and district computer use policies must be followed or students may lose computer use privileges.

• Stay on Task.
• Work bell to bell— that means do not pack up before the end of the class period.
• No Food, Drink, Gum, or Candy anywhere near the computers.

• All backpacks must be placed at the designated area at the front of the room- not at the computer stations.
• Internet access is filtered through the district network, and students are not allowed to download games, music, attempt to view inappropriate materials, or use proxy servers to access blocked sites.
• Students may not access personal email on school computers. No IM, iChat, etc.
• Students attempting to download Instant Messaging or other unauthorized software may be banned from computers and may be dropped from the class. Class, school, and district computer use policies must be followed or students may lose computer use privileges.

• Phones are a major disruption in the classroom. No use of phones during class time. If phones are visible or audible during class, they will be confiscated and sent to the administration office.
• No iPods, no CDs, no streaming music.

• Treat each other and the equipment with respect.
• The computers are needed for student use throughout the day. If you see any damage, report it to the teacher immediately.
• Do not work on computers with sticky hands. Do not eat or drink or chew gum at computer stations.
• Treat computer equipment well and it will work for the entire year. Treat it poorly and we will have a computer shortage when your work is due.

• IDs- Students must have school IDs with them in class in order to use class equipment.

• Restroom passes- There are seven minutes between class periods. Use the restrooms at that time; not during class time. Emergency and health related restroom passes will be given, but if it becomes a daily ritual, bathroom passes will be eliminated.

• Make Up Work- Make up work needs to be completed during tutorials. Do not spend class time trying to catch up on past assignments and falling behind on present assignments. Again, make up work needs to be completed during tutorials. There are tutorials in the lab at least one day per week, after period 6. Work is missed due to truancies, will not be accepted late for full credit.

• School Attendance, Tardy, and Lock-out Policies are enforced. Please read the student handbook.
