1. YOU are responsible for the care of the Digital Photography equipment. This includes the camera, camera case, memory card, charger, battery, lens cap and USB transfer cord. DO NOT let anyone handle the camera besides yourself. If there is damage, YOU are responsible for the repair/replacement as per the camera loan agreement that you and your guardian have signed. All the equipment will be checked when it is returned. **If damage or loss occurs, you will not be allowed to borrow any equipment until payment is made and cleared or the equipment has been replaced.**
Here's the price list for items that are lost/damaged:
Please note all prices have been updated as of January, 2019 from the school's approved vendor. If equipment is lost or damaged, there are 2 options:
1. The equipment may be replaced by the student/parent guardian from an alternate supplier as long as the equipment that is being replaced is in good/working order.
2. A check may be written for the amount that is listed on the price list. Please make the check payable to Hackettstown High School.
Camera Care:
1. Cap it shut! Keep the lens cap on when you are not shooting. Do not touch the lens with your fingers/hands/etc. The lenses are easily scratched/damaged. If the lens becomes dirty, leave it alone, I will clean it when you return it to school.
2. Keep the camera in the carrying case when you are not shooting.
3. Do not leave the camera unattended. (in your car, at work, etc.)
4. Use the cameras ONLY for shooting school assignments. Do not take them on family trips, parties, etc.
5. Strap it! Wear the camera strap around your neck when you are shooting.
6. Never remove the memory card when the camera is on. It will damage both the camera as well as the photos on the card.
7. Remember to bring it back! If you forget to return the camera to school, you will automatically lose 5 points from that project grade for the week. An additional 5 points will be deducted for everyday thereafter and will continue so until there is a total loss of credit by the end of the week.
