General
1. If you are found visiting a non-educational website, you will receive an
automatic office referral.
2. If you use inappropriate language or discuss inappropriate topics in an e-mail
or on a document on your laptop, you will receive an automatic office referral.
3. If you clear or tamper with the Internet History setting, you will receive

Games
1. The only appropriate times for this activity are during homeroom or guided
practice.
• Homework comes first.
• Chess is okay because it’s already on your laptop.
• You may not play any unauthorized games. An authorized game would be
one on a website that was teacher-directed. For example, the teacher gave you
the address of a site that had a geography game.
E-mail
1. You may e-mail using First Class only to students at BMS and only during
homeroom. If you break that rule:
• 1st offense - warning
• 2nd offense - You may not get your laptop from the rack until 7:45 for
one week.
• 3rd offense - Your First Class account will be suspended for two weeks
so that you can only e-mail to your teachers.
Printing
1. Ask first.
2. Print in a normal font in size 12 or 14 - no whole pages in bold - no drawings
that are not related to an assigned project.
3. Your name must be on any paper that you print so that we know who it belongs
to.
4. If, after you push “print”, there is no paper coming out of the
printer, get help. Don’t keep pushing print.
5. Abuse of the printing guidelines will result in a charge of 10 cents a page.
