Your laptops

Too many students are coming to class without their laptops, or without a sufficient charge on them to complete their classwork or with problems that won't allow them to log on and receive and send work. 

The laptops given to you by ATHS and your government are tools to help you in your life as students, not toys to play with that you also use for your classes.  The primary purpose is for you to use them to study.  If they are not in working condition then it is your responsibility to get them repaired as soon as possible.

This is what a major university in the US says, in their laptop policy, students are supposed to do

Maintain your laptop in proper working order.  If you are experiencing problems with your machine, it is your responsibility to go to Information Technology Systems and Services for help. It is also your responsibility to obtain a loaner laptop from the LSBE Technology Program while your laptop is being repaired.

 ATHS' policy says the laptops you were given are for study purposes only. In other words you should use them only for doing school work at home AND at school.  If they can't be used for the purposes of doing school work, then why do you have them?  ATHS is committed to providing its students with an e-learning environment which means you can know about, and do your school work whether you are in class or at home.  Whether  you have attended classes or were absent you can always be in touch with your class. Gentlemen make sure your laptops are charged, able to access the 'net and send and receive files for your class work.  This is essential for the mission of ATHS.  If you need to charge your laptops you can do so in my room during the 1st AND 2nd break of each day.  No charging of laptops during class is allowed, for safety reasons.  If you have any questions please ask.  See you in class!
