Computer Science Lab Rules

These guidelines will be strictly enforced in this lab. Failure to follow these guidelines may result in detention or losing your computer privileges.

• These are not your personal computers -- they belong to the school district. Because they are used for a variety of classes, and by a great number of students, you must respect the setup of each computer. Do not personalize it to your preferences -- the next person may have different preferences. We'll use standard colors, backgrounds, etc. Do NOT change them.
  
• Follow TCSD network and Internet guidelines
  (Note that the School District guidelines prohibit playing games, sending email (unless as part of a class activity), and using chat rooms. This includes using "Instant Messenger" services)
  
• Do not download or view inappropriate sites, pictures, etc. If you have to ask whether it is inappropriate, it probably IS.
  
• Do not listen to music or watch videos over the Internet, unless it is specifically assigned as a classroom activity. This "hogs" the District's feeder line, and can slow down Internet access for the entire school district.
  
• Do NOT (and I mean NEVER) download program files, music files (.mp3s) Internet utilities, or other "cool stuff" unless you have specific permission from Mrs. Sanchez
  
• Pay attention to where you store your wor. (usually your own network folder). I am not responsible for lost work!
  
• NEVER copy, move, or delete computer files that are not your own
  
• Tell me if you have problems with your computer, or notice anything "weird" about how it is working.
  
• No earphones in class -- at any time, unless supplied by Mrs. Sanchez. If you choose to use headphones and/or listen to a personal music player, I will confiscate them. You may retrieve them from Mrs. Weaver.
  
• No food or drink in classroom
