2. The use of school computers, networks, and the internet, is a privilege, not a right for students.
Students must comply with the requirements listed below:
Computers are to be used for school-related purposes only.
Students should not intentionally or negligently damage computers.
Students should not download software onto any school computer.
Students are not allowed to play games on the computer at any point during class time.
Failure to adhere to these requirements will result in disciplinary action, including revocation of user privileges. Students who repeatedly misuse the computers will be given an office referral.
LATE WORK:
Late work will result in reduced credit. An assignment is considered late if it is not turned in by the end of class on the day it is due. After that, assignments may be turned in until the end of the unit for a maximum of 75% credit. After the unit is complete, assignments for that unit will no longer be accepted.
ABSENTEE POLICY:
If you are absent, you should make arrangements with the teacher regarding a reasonable timeline for completing any missed assignments. It is the student’s responsibility to inquire about, complete, and return missed assignments.
TARDY:
If you are not in the room when the tardy bell rings, you are considered tardy.
If you have a pass, quietly hand it to the teacher.
If you do not have a pass, a tardy will be recorded and sent to an administrator who will then determine whether or not to excuse the tardy.
FOOD AND DRINKS:
Students are only allowed to have water in a sealable container in the classroom.
No food is allowed.
ENTERING THE CLASSROOM:
Enter the room quietly and go directly to your assigned seat.
Always read the board to find out what we will be doing each day.
Begin working on the daily bell ringer activity.
LEAVING THE CLASSROOM:
If you leave the classroom for any reason, sign out on the sign out sheet located near the door. Put your name, date, where you are going, and time out. When you return, put the time you returned to class.
Only one student at a time is allowed to go to the restroom.
At the end of class, make sure to log out of the computer and clean your area before leaving the classroom.
