SWAT CAMP, July 2008                                                     (This Document)

All SWAT students are expected to attend SWAT Camp.  This year's camp will be in room 102 at Housel Middle School and will run from Wednesday 9:00 AM -3:00 PM, July 16th through Friday, July 18th.  The school district will provide pizza lunch around noon each day.

During SWAT camp, students will be trained in the basic skills that are expected of all student technician interns.  Students will learn to perform basic maintenance on computers including vacuuming, scanning, defragging machines.  SWAT team members will also learn to clean out temporary files, spyware, and viruses that tend to slow down computers.  Students will also learn basic preventative measures that can keep both district and personal machines running at an optimal level.

Students who are in SWAT 1st through 6th period may use the points as extra credit (1 point per four hours of work.) For more information on grading, check out SWAT Expectations and grading.
