School Provided Technology Resources
Network storage is a finite school resource and we expect students to be respectful or other users and
limit the amount of space and memory taken up on school computers and on the school network. Each
student has 5mg amount of space to save files on our network.
The school provides individual technology accounts for students to keep track of their technology use.
Users must log off when they are finished using a school computer. Failing to log off may allow others to
use your account, and students are responsible for any activity that occurs through their personal
account.
Unacceptable Uses of Technology Section
Cell Phones and PDA’s
Cell phones and PDA’s are permitted on campus, but are not to be used during class time. If you have
forgotten your calculator, you may not use your cell phone’s calculator feature. Ask you teacher if you
