Computer Guidelines

In order to ensure that student computers are operating at their maximum efficiency, we’ve established the guidelines listed below. Many of these guidelines are designed to prevent the computers from getting overloaded with files. This has been a problem in the past in that so many files were stored on the computers that they became very slow.

Ø Do Not Download/Install Anything On To The Hard Drives. Including: Instant messengers, Games, Software, Programs, Etc.

Ø You can download to your own personal storage devices: zip drive, floppy disc or burn to CD.

Ø If you are in need of a specific program/software, do not download. Contact Rita at 7245 or Johanna at 8621.

Saving Your Documents

Ø Do Not Save Your Work On The Computer.

Ø Save your work to personal storage devices: zip drive, floppy disc or burn to CD.
