The document outlines the rules for students in the computer lab, including coming prepared to work, no food or drink, walking quietly to seats, not banging keyboards or touching other students' computers, asking for help by raising the orange strip, sitting safely in chairs, following the acceptable use policy, and potential consequences for not following rules like warnings and timeouts. Students are rewarded for following rules with extra game time or helping the teacher, and asked to exit programs and leave areas clean for the next class at the end of lab time.
