Protecting and Storing Your Laptop Computer

 

Laptop Identification

Student laptops will be labeled in the manner specified by the school.  Laptops can be identified by the serial number and senior high asset tag and individual user account name and password.

 

Password Protection

Students are expected to password protect their laptops by setting a start-up password and keeping that password confidential.

 

Storing Your Laptop

When students are not monitoring laptops, they should be stored in their lockers with the lock securely fastened.  Nothing should be placed on top of the laptop, when stored in the locker.  Students are encouraged to take their laptops home every day after school, regardless of whether or not they are needed.  Laptops should not be stored in a student’s vehicle at school or at home.

 

Laptops Left in Unsupervised Areas

Under no circumstances should laptops be left in unsupervised areas. Unsupervised areas include the school grounds and campus, the cafeteria, computer lab, concourse, locker rooms, library, unlocked classrooms, dressing rooms and hallways.  Any computer left in these areas is in danger of being stolen.

Unsupervised laptops will be confiscated by staff and taken to the Assistant Principals’ Office.  Disciplinary action may be taken for leaving your laptop in an unsupervised location.
