Job Description:

                Students will gain professional technology experience while assisting the school district with hardware and software related problems.  The SWAT team students will be able to troubleshoot basic computer problems for their teachers and suggest probable solutions.

                SWAT team members will work with the district Technology Coordinators to install hardware components and client software.  Students will also help with technological instruction of students and staff.

Students will log 64 hours of technology assistance under the supervision of the Technology Coordinators.  SWAT team students will also be required to complete a semester project.

Besides 64 hours of technical assistance, SWAT members will meet with the Technology Coordinators each Wednesday from 6:50 – 7:50 AM or 4:00 until 5:00 PM.  Wednesday seminar time does not count towards the students’ 64 hours.  Attendance is necessary.  If students miss class, they may not make up the points.  Students mid semester grades will be an average of the work completed thus far.

Student Expectations:

1.                    Students must sign a Prosser School District Computer-Network Use Form.  Students will be expected to comply in all ways with the district code and policy for proper network use.  Students will, in fact, be expected to model proper computer and network use to district students.

4.                    Students may help teachers with minor software and hardware help such as installing printers and changing toner with the teacher’s direct permission.  Students must then ask the teacher to sign their journal to acknowledge that they were requested to help the teacher.

5.                    SWAT members working on Intranet and Internet publications such as a building Web site must follow the standard expectations for mature and professional workmanship as expected of any high school student.  Students will be bound by all of the expectations of any student as defined in the students Rights and Responsibilities of Prosser High School.
