In the Event of a Fire Drill Do not turn off the computers. Be sure to push your chairs in when you are leaving. Why? Leave quickly and carefully using the route your computer teacher has instructed you to use! No Talking

In the Event of a Lock Down. Proceed to the location designated by your computer teacher and sit quietly on the floor. Your teacher will be shutting the doors and covering the windows. It is important that you sit quietly and follow instructions at this time.

Seat Assignments I will assign a seat to you. Remember the number of your computer. If there are behavior problems, I will change seating assignments. 12

Computer Lab Rules Listen to and follow directions. Work quietly. Show respect. Keep yourself and others safe. Raise your hand and wait to be called.

Be Patient! Remember there is only one of me and over 20 of you, so please BE PATIENT with the lab teacher. When I am giving directions, raise your hand if you have a question. If there are numerous people who need help at the same time, put a cup up to signal that you need help. Help!

Food—Gum—Candy Food, drinks or gum is NOT allowed in the labs. If you have candy given to you by a teacher, you will be asked to throw it in the trash. If it still in wrapper, keep it in a pocket. ONE WARNING ONLY, or will result in being grounded from the computer.

Clean Computers make Happy Computers This is a happy computer. All our computers are happy and clean. Please be kind to them. Wash hands after eating and using the restroom; before coming into the lab

Remember To…. Keep heat and magnets away from all computer parts.

Restroom Break Your teacher should have given you time to use restroom before coming to the lab. You will not be allowed to use the bathroom during directions. You might miss something fun or important if you go and really do not have to. Raise your hand to get permission to go.

Hang in there, only a little more! Rules are Cool, When Everyone follows them…….

Logging On Your ID is your initials plus your student id number Your password is your student id number When class ends you must log off. It is important to log on in order to save your work.

Care For Your Space Do not stack paper or books on the computer. Take care of the headphones!!! Push your chair in when you leave. Ask when not sure
