Lab Use Guidelines for Students
(from the student handbook)
The computer labs are often (but not always) available for individual student use. No pass is needed to use Room 118 from 8:00 a.m.-8:15 a.m. and after school.
- During the school day, students may not be in the computer labs unless their teacher has signed out the lab and is teaching the class there OR the student has a lunch pass from Mr. Tomlinson.
- Teachers may not write passes to a computer lab; students should not ask them for one.
- For lunch passes, see Mr. Tomlinson in room 118 between 8:00 a.m. and 8:15 a.m. Students may also ask Mr. Tomlinson for a pass during the afternoon of the preceding day.
- For early morning passes (before 8:00), see Mr. Tomlinson in room 118 or Ms. Hartlove in room 320 to request a pass the day before you wish to use the lab.
Food, candy, gum, and drink may not be brought into a computer lab at any time. These items cause major damage to the equipment. Do not place bags or books on the computer tables. They can harm the equipment and loosen wiring connections, which also damages the equipment.
Always proofread and use the spelling checker before printing. In Microsoft Word, use "File > Print Preview" to check your document before printing. Printing from the Internet (Netscape, Internet Explorer) usually wastes paper and toner. Avoid doing it, use copy/paste into word processing documents, or seek assistance from Mr. Tomlinson or Ms. Hartlove.
Violations of lab policies will result in disciplinary referrals and loss of lab privileges.
