Success for all Students, cont.
Students may not send threatening or derogatory messages to others.
Students should store laptop and bag in their designated places during the school day.
Students should treat the computers with respect.

Preamble ties classroom contract to district contract; Families sign
both
Guidelines (rules) spelled out here
Progressive consequences apply to any infraction
Contract language puts responsibility in the hands of
the student first

refuse to offer an alternative means of completing an
assignment.

Physical Space Requirements
PowerCord ProtectorsStorage of laptops and bagsAlternative seating (space for
groups/students to spread out)
Mary Phillips, 2009
Storage of Computers and Bags
Out of sight, out of mindConsider weight of cumulative
equipment (many laptops)Label, label, label!Consider time for transitions
Playing cards label bins. Students find similar face card.
I use Spades for the labels.
Laminated playing cards are attached to bags and labeled
with student names.
Computer cart that does not charge is still a good place to store laptops
when not in use.
Older students store laptops on roomy shelves. Each student has a numbered
station.
Zip Ties are awesome! They secure the power strip to the
shelf.

them around a bit.” ~Eric
