Computer Discovery Lab Safety Rules
Operate computers only with permission from the teacher.
Check your station immediately when you arrive, and tell the teacher if there is anything wrong before class begins.
Always sit at your assigned station.
Find the proper adjustment for your chair before class begins, and leave it there.
Do not roll, play, or spin in the chairs.
Be ready to start when the tardy bell rings.
Continue working on assignments until the bell rings. The teacher dismisses, not the bell.
Follow directions the first time given.

Do not unplug anything from the computers or outlets.
Diskettes, CD’s, or other technology devices are not allowed in the lab.

The computer lab will be open before school on specified days from 7:20 – 7:50 in order for students to complete make-up work or for practice. It is the student’s responsibility to obtain the work and turn it in.
No loud talking, name-calling, or disrespect for students or teachers allowed in the classroom. Treat others as you would like to be treated.
Do not share your password or social security number.
Save your work every 3-5 minutes.

REMEMBER When you arrive in class, you are responsible for checking your workstation. Any abuse of your workstation equipment must be reported to the teacher immediately or you may be held responsible for the damages. If you damage or deface any of the computer lab equipment, you and your parents will be held responsible for the cost of any repair or replacement.
