3. Food, candy, gum, and drinks may not be consumed at the computer stations.
4. At the start of each class, students are responsible for ensuring that their stations are properly equipped.  If anything is missing or malfunctioning, students should inform the teacher immediately or will be held responsible.
5. Respect the rights of others.  Do not touch other students' computers or belongings.
6. Only access software, programs, or internet sites which the teacher has specifically directed you to use. 
7. If you need help, raise your hand.  Please do not call out for help from the teacher.

9. Respect the equipment.  Do not download anything without permission.  Do not change any of the settings on the desktop or programs and files in the computer.  Do not connect, disconnect, or move equipment.
10. Students are not allowed to use the teacher's desk or computer.
11. Students are not to access non-academic sites such as chat rooms, instant messaging, or other e-mail services.  If you accidentally get into an inappropriate internet site, turn off your monitor and tell your teacher immediately so the URL can be noted.
