Introduction 2017-2018 School Year
Student Responsibilities You should take good care of the laptop. It is SCHOOL PROPERTY and yours to use for EDUCATIONAL purposes. NOTES: You will be allowed to carry your laptop in a sleeve, case, or small bag (cinch sack, messenger bag, or small book bag.) Do not close the laptop with anything in it - earbuds, pencils, etc. - or you could crack the screen. Do not put heavy items or a lot of pressure on the case or you could cause damage. This also includes stuffing it in a bookbag with a lot of other items! Make sure your laptop is CHARGED each night so you will be able to use it during the school day.
You should NOT DOWNLOAD any software or CHANGE ANY SETTINGS on your laptop unless you have permission from your teacher. Note about playing games, messaging, & other online activities You must have your teacher s permission (each time) to play games and they need to be approved sites. Never download software to play games or chat with other people. Playing games during class is not allowed and may result in you losing your laptop for a week or more. Messaging, e-mailing, or chatting with other students during class is not a smart choice. Do not use sites that help you get around the school filters. Sites are blocked for a reason! Remember just because you CAN do something, that doesn t mean you SHOULD! Make SMART CHOICES!
Personal Electronic Devices: Cell phones may be used during lunch and before or after school. NOTE: During class time, devices must be turned off and placed in the cell phone caddy in each classroom. You SHOULD NOT take pictures of other students or post information about other students on social networks/apps! No personal laptops will be used in the classroom; only school-issued devices. Outside devices will not be allowed on the wireless network. Damage or misuse of the device may result in losing your computer privileges. For a complete list of rules and policies, be sure to check the handbook available online on the High School web site.
