4. Classroom Rules Listen and raise your hand to talk.
Questions? Answers? Comments? Concerns? Need something? Raise your hand and wait silently until you are called on.
Stay in your seat and work quietly.
No one gets up without permission.
NO food, drinks, gum, or candy in the computer lab.
If I give you candy as a reward, it is to be eaten OUTSIDE of this room.
Keep your hands, feet, and objects to yourself.
NO exceptions.
RESPECT everyone and everything.
Be kind to each other as well as the equipment and furniture.
Websites and images must be school appropriate.

6. Computer Rules: Always a rule no matter where you are:
NO Cool Math Games, .io sites (such as Slither.io), sites that say “unblocked” (such as unblocked games), sites with a lot of ads.
These are NOT my rules. These are school rules, per Mr. Dendinger. These sites have a risk of displaying ads that are not kid-friendly and are NOT allowed to be used in Thomas Johnson.

7. Mrs. Hitt’s Class Phone Policy
You may use phones in class ONLY if I give direction to do so and they must be used in the way that I indicate as appropriate for the class period.

19. Reminders
TWO papers will go home over the next couple of weeks
Student Computer Login Card
Technology Information Sheet
Extra Credit
Have your parents me at to earn you extra credit. They MUST put your Name and Homeroom number or teacher in the subject line.
Homework
As long as you do your assignments in class and you
show good effort with your typing, you will not have
technology homework.
Open Lab Hour – To be determined – once a week
Priority is given to students who are working on assignments for me but if there are computers available you are welcome to work on assignments for other classes.
Coach class is for WORKING on assignments and for typing practice, not for playing games.
DO NOT come to me on the morning an assignment is due, or while I am with a class, and ask to type an assignment or print something. If you need to work on an assignment or print something in the computer lab, you need to PLAN AHEAD to come my Open Lab Hour.
