If you violate the HCPSS Acceptable Computer Use Policy and Agreement you will lose your computer privileges for the ENTIRE SCHOOL year and have a meeting with Mr. Dickey, your classroom teacher, and MHMS technology leader and Media Specialist Ms. Jones and Ms. Koudelka our Technology Specialist. All work that otherwise would have been done on a computer IN school will have to be done by hand or out of school.
