2. Do not use AIM or other instant messaging programs while in the classroom, there is no need for it.

3. Facebook, Myspace, Twittering, and others are for home use not classroom use.

4. When sending e-mails be short and to the point, and avoid using all caps.

5. Be carful of what websites you view, as some of them may be fake or may draw you to other websites that have inappropriate content.

7. Do not download anything, especially programs, to your computer without my supervision.

8. Be cordial and correct .

10. If you have any questions about anything, you ask me.

I will abide by the following rules that are stated above. I will not disobey or break any of these rules and understand that if I do standard school disciplinary action will be taken. I have taken these rules home with me and have had both a parent as well as myself sign this contract and therefore agree to the terms stated above. If I have any questions I will ask Mr. Graziano so there will be no issues. Thank you.
