Use Google Chrome when working on the Internet. If you have a personal device, it is recommended that you download Google Chrome. Microsoft Edge is sometimes causing issues, such as linking Google Drive and OneDrive.
School headphones are to stay in the phone/shoe organizer at the end of each day. If you have your own headphones, you may use them. Do not take your school purchased headphones home so that you have them if you need them for school. You will have to use your own headphones at home or go to a quiet room to work at home.
You do not need to bring school assigned netbook chargers to school. If you need to charge a school netbook, there will be carts in the hallways that you may ask your teacher to charge. However, PLEASE charge your devices each night so that they are ready for school. Students with personal devices will need to bring their chargers to school. In addition, DO NOT leave your device plugged in. Only plug in a device when the battery in low and needs charged. Leaving the device plugged in all the time will cause the battery to stop working and then the device will not work without being plugged in.
Do not close your device until all lights are off. If you close the device before it shuts down, it will not work properly and will go into sleep mode.
You should not have any food or drink around your devices when you are working. This will damage the device.
Clean your devices at home regularly with a damp wipe; use a damp cloth with water ONLY on screen.
Students with personal devices will need to log onto the FMSGuest wireless network. The password is also FMSGuest. Students with a personal device should write this down on their blue sheet in their planner.
You are responsible for your device. Any damage to a school device will be the responsibility of the student and parent/guardian. TAKE CARE OF YOUR DEVICES!
It is the student and parent/guardian responsibility to have or attain internet access either at home or to transport students to a school hotspot.
