Reminders  Students MUST use their login. Do not let them login in using generic (5a, k1, etc) logins. They cannot access BCPSOne and other resources using those logins.  Student logins are on the shared drive. For new students not on the list please Mr. Miley and he will get you their login.

Reminders  It is our responsibility to monitor students on the computers. We have many missing keys or otherwise damaged. This is preventable!  Students should be assigned computers in the lab or classroom in order to keep accountability.  Students should never be given free reign on the internet. You should provide them with start pages or direct links.

Reminders  If you need help with start pages or adding direct links to BCPSOne please see Mr. Schultz!
