Computer Lab Request Schedule
The five general computer labs (1000, 2112, 2113, 2114, and 2115) are signed out in partial-period increments for all blocks but first. Block 1 is a single time period due to its duration. Blocks 2, 3, 6 and 7 are split in half. The division of Blocks 4 and 5 use the existing lunch schedule, bell-to-bell and identically labeled A, B, C, and D.
Therefore the daily available time slots are:
Block 1 (7:20 AM - 8:20 AM Bell)
Block 2A or 3A (8:26 AM - 9:11 AM) - No bell
Block 2B or 3B (9:11 AM - 9:56 AM Bell)
Block 4A or 5A (10:02 AM - 10:34 AM Bell)
Block 4B or 5B (10:34 AM - 11:08 AM Bell)
Block 4C or 5C (11:08 AM - 11:40 AM Bell)
Block 4D or 5D (11:40 AM - 12:12 PM Bell)
Block 6A or 7A (12:18 PM - 1:04 PM) - No bell
Block 6B or 7B (1:04PM - 1:50 PM Bell)
You may sign out labs for the full period if you need them; however, this system allows you to surgically plan your instructional time and environment and allow other teachers to avail themselves of the labs when you don't need them.

For safety and security, teachers should not leave students unattended in corridors under any circumstances, nor should they request or allow students to obtain or return the keys.
