Lab Procedures

NO FOOD, NO GUM AND NO DRINKS,  ARE TO BE CONSUMED IN THE LAB. 

- All Desks, computers, keyboards, cabinets  etc. will be numbered and assigned to students and the students are responsible for their assigned equipment.   
                                                                                                                                                                           
- Any item deliberately broken/damaged must be replaced by the student/students in the PLTW Lab. A lab check by the students will be carried out in the last 5-10 minutes of class.

- When you sit down, always check your mouse, keyboard and computer for damage. Any damaged item not reported to the instructor at the beginning of the class will become your responsibility. 

- Always return materials that you have used to the proper location-including books and your portfolio!                                                                              
- All areas must be clean and everything put in its place before students will be dismissed.

- Take care of the desk and tabletops. Do not mark on any surfaces. 

- As advanced level students, you are to follow all safety guidelines provided in the manuals and labs.
