SHS STUDENT TECHNOLOGY PACKET

Welcome

The purpose of this Technology packet is to supply you with all of the information you need to know about the SHS drive mappings and User folders.  It also includes information about getting help when you need it.

Notice of Felony Offense

It is a Felony to hack into or attempt to access anyone else’s files.  You may only access your own files.

Saving My Files

§         DO NOT EVER save files to “My Documents” or the Desktop!

§         O: drive – Curriculum folder (your class and public files broken down by teacher and class)

§         S: drive – All old student and teacher files/folders no longer exists.

§         All S: drive files were deleted in 2004/2005 school year.

§         All deletions and access is now tracked.  Do not use your account maliciously.

§         U: drive – Individual Student Drive – holds your personal files, securely.  This drive replaces the S: drive for your personal storage needs.

NOTES:

A.      Any documents you create are saved on the U: drive.

B.      You have only 15 Megabytes of personal storage on the Network.  You will not be allowed to use more than this much drive space.

C.      Only your account will have access to your private U: drive.

Sharing My Files

You may share files with your other classmates in two ways.  First, you may use any Curriculum folder setup by your teacher for you and your class to use.  Second, you may use the O:\Shared Documents folder as a public mail box.

NOTE: Files left in the O:\Shared Documents folder will be deleted at the end of each day!  So, only use this folder to move data from one user to another and for printing in the library.

Printing in the SHS Library

Student Accounts may not print a document in the Library.  Only the Staff can print the document for you. To have a file printed in the SHS library copy your file to O:\Shared Documents and notify library staff of the file name.

NOTE: Files left in the O:\Shared Documents folder will be deleted at the end of each day!  So, only use this folder to move data from one user to another and for printing in the library.

Class Work - The O:\Curriculum Folder

This is where teachers will put data for students to access, such as assignments, handouts, tests, etc. and also where students will be able to turn in their assignments if their teacher wants them submitted electronically.

Email

Students will generally NOT be given individual email accounts. Students are NOT allowed to access their personal email accounts on school computers.

Password Rules

You are never to give out your password to anyone – not your best friend, your girlfriend/boyfriend – not anyone!!  If your password is compromised, you are liable for any consequences.

Password Resets

We have the Anixis Password reset program now.  Once students log on successfully for the first time, they are to immediately enroll in the password reset program.  This program allows students to reset their own password when they forget.

Data Will Be Purged

All data will be purged from your personal U: Drive after the last day of school.  If you wish to save any documents, you must either save them to your own floppy, CD, or Thumb drive PRIOR to the last day of school.
