Charging of Computers. It is the student's responsibility to have their computers charged each day when they come to school. During a normal school day a typical computer fully charged through a normal electrical outlet can be used the entire day for classes with no additional charging required. Students must be responsible and charge their computers before coming to school. If a student comes to class with a computer that is not charged, consequences may occur for the student. • Establish a routine at home for the charging of the computer so that it can charge overnight. The charging time of the computer and responsibility is very similar to the charging of a cell phone. • It is the student's responsibility to maintain the charger. The student/parent will be charged for lost or damaged chargers. It is recommended that students not use the prongs on the charger to wrap the cord, as over time, this has proven to damage the cord.

All students will be able to personalize their computer through the legal downloading of music from iTunes, ripping CD’s, and other similar methods, although some specific sites such as “limewire” and other music sites will not be accessible to students. In addition, screen savers, wallpaper and other pictures may be placed on the computer. All items must be appropriate and not violate any school policies. Stickers and other markings on the outside of the computer will not be allowed. Each computer and bag is easily identified by a specific numbering system (“Asset Tag”) that is placed on the computer. Students will save all of their schoolwork on the school server or in the cloud through Google, Dropbox, etc. Students are responsible for maintaining their own files. Students will have access to print to the printer in the media center. It is hoped that less material will need to be printed as a result of the opportunities to communicate directly to the teacher by sending assignments and other materials to them through their computer.
