Computer Use: Students will use school computers as part of their

classroom assignments. Each student will take care of the computer,
keyboard, and mouse on their desk, as well as those in the surrounding
areas, to the best of their abilities. The following actions will not be tolerated:
stealing, writing on equipment, computer hacking, visiting any website
without permission, turning off another students computer, unplugging
computer components, or anything else that could be considered destructive
or abusive.
The student understands his/her responsibility to immediately report any
vandalized and/or broken equipment or surrounding areas to the teacher.
If caught stealing or vandalizing the equipment or surrounding areas in any
way, the student will be responsible for paying all damages and will be
disciplined accordingly.
Book: There will be a class set of books. The student can check out a book
at any time. It is the students responsibility to sign the book out and back in
with the teacher. If the book is not signed back in properly, the student will
be responsible to replace the lost book.
Classroom Conduct: Students are expected to behave as young,
responsible, respectful adults. All students must ask permission, sign out,
and obtain a pass to use the restroom. One student is allowed in the
restroom at a time. Per school policy, students will not be allowed to use the
restroom 10 minutes after and/or before the bell.
No outside food or drinks will be allowed in the classroom as this is a
