BAMS Student Chromebook Expectations

Here are the procedures we will follow until we feel something different needs to be put into place.

1. Students WILL pick up their Chromebooks in the morning from their designated charging station if they need them for their first period.  (Treat like the first locker stop)

2. Students WILL return their Chromebooks at the end of the day to their designated charging station and plug them in.

3. Students MAY use the designated charging stations to house their Chromebooks during the day when they are not required for exploratory classes, core classes, or galaxy.

4. Students WILL ONLY access the charging stations in between classes as to not interfere with classroom instruction.

5. Students MAY leave their Chromebooks in a teacher’s classroom with their other materials during lunch or classes IF they have teacher’s permission.

6. Students MAY NOT bring their Chromebooks to the cafeteria.

7. Students WILL only have Chromebooks open when instructed to do so by a teacher - including transition time, passing in the halls, galaxy, etc.

7. Any Chromebook found unattended in the hallway, gym, MPR, etc. will be picked up returned to technology coordinator and student will lose their Chromebook for the rest of the day.

8. Consequences for

• gaming, videos, streaming, etc. during class time - team/teacher consequences
• leaving Chromebooks unattended - team/teacher consequences
• inappropriate offenses - immediate office referral

Teams will determine the number infractions before the first consequence.  For example, after three minor infractions, the student is notified of the problem and loses the chromebook for one day and the parents are notified.  After the next set of infractions, the student loses the Chromebook for a day and is given an after school detention by the team.
