Home | About Mrs. Parnell | Classes Taught |

• Be on time every day. This does not mean just in the room, but in your assigned seat and ready to begin the day’s assignment when the tardy bell rings.

• Textbooks are your responsibility. You are to bring them to class everyday unless instructed otherwise. Failure to have your textbook will result in no grade for the assignment and it will have to be made up at a later date or for homework. Students will be charged for lost or damaged textbooks.

• Stay at your assigned computer unless otherwise instructed by the teacher to use a different machine. You are responsible for your computer station. Should a problem arise, it is your responsibility to notify the teacher immediately.

• NO FOOD, DRINKS OR CANDY ALLOWED IN THE CLASSROOM. These items should not be brought into the classroom. We have computers in the room and these items can cause damage to them. If you are found with them in class, they will be disposed of immediately.

• Students should be prepared to remain in the classroom for the entire period. Only in extreme emergencies are students to use the restroom and take care of personal business during class time. The decision to allow students to leave class will be that of the teachers.

• Students will be marked tardy if they are not in class by the designated time. Tardies will be dealt with as indicated in the student handbook.

• If a student must be absent from class, he or she is responsible for securing any missed assignments and submitting them to the teacher. Please make arrangements with the instructor if you need to make up missed work. It is your responsibility to make sure you get the assignments you are missing and submit them for grading.

• Tampering with or vandalizing a computer in the lab is a serious offense. It is treated as any other vandalism incident on school grounds. This includes altering the computer setup in any way, removing the track ball from the mouse, switching cables, adding passwords, screensavers or any other setting on the computer. Student’s assigned computers are checked regularly for these things and if anything is found, they will be referred immediately to an administrator.

• Internet use is for classroom activities only. Students should not use the Internet for personal use, such as checking email or obtaining song lyrics. Students who are found using the Internet for inappropriate purposes will be disciplined accordingly.

Here is a checklist to remember while using computers in the lab:

ü NO FOOD OR DRINK

ü BE QUIET

ü ALWAYS ASK FIRST

ü DON’T ALTER SETTINGS OR FILES ON THE HARD DRIVE

ü DON’T DOWNLOAD OR INSTALL PERSONAL SOFTWARE

These rules are subject to change at the teacher’s discretion. They may also be amended as needed.
