If the folders stay in the classroom, how do we study for the test?
The notes may go home whenever you need to prepare for a test. However, notes should be returned to your folder on test day. If they are not, your test grade will be lowered by 5 points.Back to Top
When am I permitted to come in to use the computer lab?
Students may use the computer lab during their study periods and/or after school. If you plan to come in during a study period, you must get a pass from Mrs. Trezza and bring it back signed by your study hall teacher. Mrs. Trezza stays after school Monday through Thursday. If Friday is the only afternoon you can stay, something may be arranged. No pass is needed to stay after school, but parents should be notified if that is going to happen.Back to Top

If my password does not work, what do I do?
Go to the library, and the librarian will be able to give you a new password. It is your responsibility to remember your password. Do not share it with anyone. You are responsible for any activity in your account.Back to Top
How come our assignments are giving us fewer instructions?
When you enter the second half of the semester, you should be applying what you have learned to your projects. Most answers to how something is done can be found on a previous handout. This is an excellent time for you to show me how much you have learned and how well you can complete work independently.Back to Top
What do I do if I missed a test or did not complete the test?
You are to make up or finish the test as soon as possible after your return to school. Within a week is the allotted time. After that, the grade may be averaged in as a zero, which will certainly have a negative effect your grade in this class.Back to Top
How can I send something home through my school email?
Your email is MS Outlook. Just as you open any MS Office application, you can open Outlook. If you are in another Office application, just go File> Send to. It might take several seconds, but a screen will open that you should recognize as an email screen. You can send from that screen. I would suggest that you send a document as an attachment.Back to Top

There are 14 buttons that I suggest you keep on your WORD Quick Access Toolbar. They are: New, Open, Save,Email, Quick Print, Print Preview, Spelling and Grammar, Undo, Redo,Page Setup,Paragraph,Show/Hide, Edit Header, Edit Footer.Back to Top
Did we do anything important while I was absent?
Yes, every day we do something important. Therefore, when you return, you should be ready to work hard to catch up. Absence is not an excuse for not having work handed in on time. I suggest you listen to what is going on in class so you do not continue to fall behind. It is important that you do the project that the class is doing. Catch-up work may be done during study periods or after school. However, if you do have class time to work on something, use the time wisely.Back to Top
How do we identify our work so that we get credit?
Each student gets a Student number and a class name. Every paper you hand it should have this information in the Header. This will be explained clearly during early classes. It is always modeled for you on your assignment sheets.Back to Top
When you take your paper from the printer, put it in the sorter in the front of the room under your student number. Sometimes, I will ask the class to leave their papers in printer and will collect them myself. If you are handing in late work, please put it in the basket to the right side of my computer.Back to Top
