Mini’s are intended for use at school each day. In addition to teacher expectations

for laptop use, school messages, announcements, calendars and schedules will be accessed using the laptop computer. Students must be responsible to bring their laptop to all classes, unless specifically advised not to do so by their teacher.

4.1 Minis Left at Home

If students leave their laptop at home, they will receive an office referral and will be issued a loaner computer for the remainder of the school day. Repeat violations of this policy will result in disciplinary action.

4.2 Laptop Undergoing Repair

Loaner mini’s may be issued to students when they leave their minis for repair at the Help Desk.

4.3 Charging Your Laptop’s Battery

Minis must be brought to school each day in a fully charged condition. Students

need to charge their minis each evening. Repeat violations of this policy will result  in disciplinary action.

4.4 Screensavers

Passwords on screensavers are not to be used.  Hard drive passwords are forbidden. If used, students may be responsible for the cost of replacement hardware.

4.5 Sound

Sound must be muted at all times unless permission is obtained from the

teacher for instructional purposes.

4.6 Printing

Printing may only be done on the school’s network printers at the direction of

a teacher. Personal printers at home will not be able to be added to the mini. Printing should be kept to a minimum as teaching strategies will facilitate digital copies of homework.
