If you own a graphing calculator and wish to bring it to class to use, make sure you have your name permanently affixed to the calcuator. You can do this either through etching or with permanent marker.
When you leave the classroom, make sure you do not leave your calculator in the desk. Check to see that you have it in your book bag.
If you decide to let somebody from another class borrow it, you may want to exchange it for something of theirs, so they won't be as likely to "forget" to return it to you.
If you find a graphing calculator, let the teacher know immediately. Please do not decide to use it without informing the teacher first. It is very easy to forget that it is not yours and stick it in your bookbag.
If you find that you are missing your calculator, let the teacher know immediately. Someone from another class may have found it!
Purchasing a graphing calculator is not required. However, learning to use one is required. Therefore, if you wish to use one of the calculators belonging to the school, you must bring 8 AAA size batteries at the beginning of the year, or at any point in the year before you may being using one.
The teacher has a limited supply of graphing calculators. You are welcome to use one during the class period, but you may not take it home with you for any reason.
Each day there will be a checkout sheet for the calculators. Only those who have brought batteries have check-out privileges. No one will be dismissed from class until all of the calculators have been accounted for.
It is possible to program these calculators. However, before any test, the calculator's memory must be cleared. Therefore, if you have any programs you do not want to lose, be sure to download them to a computer or another calculator BEFORE class.
After a test, you must also clear the memory from the calculator. It is not fair to share answers with students from another class.
If you own a graphing calculator, you are responsible for learning how to use it. That means if you must bring the manual with you to class everyday, then do so.
Take care of the graphing calculators, especially those belonging to the school. Avoid placing them on the edge of the desk where they are likely to fall.
Anyone found violating any of these principles may lose their calculator privileges for an amount of time appropriate to the violation. This may be for as little as a class period, or as much as the remainder of the school year.
