RaiderLinks is an interdisciplinary curriculum that integrates the use of powerful technology to create a genuine learning community that benefits every student.

The following guidelines will regulate the use of laptop computers at school:

  • Every student will respect every other student in the Raiderlinks' community.
  • Students will not touch, use, or alter another student's laptop or software without permission.
  • Mentors should teach people how to solve their own problems.
  • Teachers will receive a student's immediate attention when the "eyes up" directive is given.
  • At TJHS, the laptop will be used as a powerful tool rather than a toy.
  • Unless they are part of an approved reaming experience, extraneous computer sounds need to be eliminated from any laptop learning environment (e.g. loud, distracting, or constant noise; start up music; bells; sound effects; etc.).
  • Games are expressly forbidden at school unless they are simulations or educational programs approved by a Raiderlinks teacher.
  • Every Raiderlinks student will abide by the FWSD's policy regarding electronic information systems, Email, networks, and the Internet (R6133.4).
  • Students will use electronic information, files, and the Infrared ports to promote scholarship and intellectual growth.
  • Laptops, software, and personal files will not be used to access or store materials that are not in harmony with the school district's mission, policies, or curriculum.
  • All liquid and food products will be kept away from laptop learning stations.
  • As a courtesy, laptops with the greatest need for recharging will be given priority in rooms that have a limited number of outlets.
  • Class time must be used in a manner that is consistent with the student's course of study and the expectations of the Raiderlinks faculty.
  • Every screen saver, text, sound, and image that appear on the laptops must be consistent with the rules, regulations, and spirit of the FWSD and the Raiderlinks learning community.
  • All software must be legally licensed.
  • Remote connections will be limited to those designated or approved by the school district.
