Classroom Expectations
Students will enter the classroom in a quiet and orderly fashion. 6th-8th grade students will usually start at their computer stations. Students will exit in the same fashion when leaving the lab.
Each student will have an assigned computer station and headphones and treat these with care. Headphones should be bagged and placed in the bin at the end of class.
Students will work on assignments independently unless otherwise specified.
If students have a question, a raised hand will alert the teacher to the need. Leaving your computer station is not an appropriate way to seek help.
Students are to remain on task with the materials given. Searching the Internet, going to sites not approved, checking personal email, or spending time on other work outside of computers without permission is a breach of the Acceptable Use Policy of Our Lady of Victory Handbook, and will be assessed as a disciplinary concern as well as a loss of computer time during class.
Students will close all programs, save all work, and leave their computer on the home screen or desktop at the end of the class.
