Business Computer Lab Guidelines

Computer labs and computer equipment must be used conscientiously according to the Westfield Washington School District Computing Policy Guidelines. The use of computer labs is a privilege extended to all students. Abuse or misuse of the equipment, policies, or rules may lead to a loss of privileges or disciplinary action by the Westfield High School Administration.

Each student in a business class will be assigned a computer station using a seating chart. You are responsible for that station. It must be kept clean, orderly, and in good repair. If you find a problem, let the teacher know immediately.
