CLASSROOM PROCEDURES AND RULES: 1. Be in your seat when the tardy bell rings. If you are not, you will be counted tardy. 2. Begin assignment on board by the time the bell rings. Assignments are posted on the board. 3. Students will be assigned a computer and will stay at that computer each day unless given permission to move. Do not get out of your seat without permission. This includes going to another student's computer without permission. 4. Do not talk unless teacher gives permission and do not disrupt the class in any way. There will be time assigned in class when students may be allowed to talk to their neighbor only. This time allowed will be only in a very low tone of voice or there will be no talking. 5. If your chair ends up in any other position other than the appropriate position with all four legs on the floor, you can be written up for Class I offense or Class II depending on the severity of the situation. Keep your chair in the proper position on the floor and do not touch anyone else’s chair. This is to protect you, other students and the equipment. 6. Come to class each day with pen/pencil and paper. Absolutely use only blue or black ink pens. 7. Do not chew gum or anything appearing to be gum, etc. Also no food, drink or candy in computer lab. 8. Damaging equipment in any way is a serious offense. Depending on the severity of the damage, this could be a Class II or III. 9.Log-off at the end of each class period. Other students may come in during the next class and get into your work! 10.Absolutely no Internet use or games unless specifically stated by your instructor. 11.Textbooks do not leave the classroom unless otherwise stated by your teacher. All textbooks remain at each computer. Return all books to their proper place on the table at the end of class. 12.No cell phones will be allowed in the computer lab. ***I prefer to start out using name on the board as a warning for most items listed above to give students a chance to correct what they are doing. After that, we will discuss more serious consequences to help motivate them in the right direction.***
