Multimedia Room File Storage Policy

Because there is limited hard drive storage space on the computers in the Multimedia Room, the following policy will be in force starting with the 2006-07 school year:

World Arts 1 Students:

All work is to be kept in individual student subfolders in E:\Projects\Student Projects\firstname_lastname
(where firstname_lastname is the same as your Cary Academy login name.)
At the end of the Fall trimester, all files and folders in these student folders will be deleted by Cary Academy. Please arrange with a Multimedia Room teacher to save your files elsewhere if you don't want them to be deleted.

Multimedia, Tech Video, Computer Arts, and Animation Students:

All work is to be kept in individual student subfolders in E:\Projects\Class Projects\Multimedia, or
E:\Projects\Class Projects\TechVideo
Please create a folder in either of the above folders with the folder named firstname_lastname
(where firstname_lastname is the same as your Cary Academy login name.) A student can have only one student subfolder on each computer.

Files in these areas can be kept between trimesters, however at the end of the Spring trimester each year, all files and folders in these student folders will be deleted by Cary Academy. Please arrange with a teacher to save your files elsewhere if you don't want them to be deleted.

Note: Multimedia, Tech Video, Computer Arts, and Animation Students are expected to organize their files withing their subfolders neatly and to keep their files in good order and in a neighborly way. Duplicate files on other computers will not be permitted. Any folders that do not follow the firstname_lastname convention are subject to deletion.

Backup drives:

In the Multimedia Room on several computers, there are additional drives that can be used as backup drives for short-term storage (several months or over a summer). Please talk to a Multimedia Room teacher to arrange for storage on these back up drives.

Note: because all students will login to the Multimedia Room computers with the same user name it is extremely important that good housekeeping be maintained by students when working with their files and folders. Please do not delete files unless you are absolutely certain that they are yours. Also please do not browse into other student folders unless you have permission from the other student.
