Students must sign in and sign out. Please send no more than two
students from a class to do research. Send students on a written pass or
use the agenda book (owner only). Indicate on the pass the student’s
first and last name, the assignment to be completed and a return time if student is to return to class.
Sending Students (continued) Sign your first and last name on the
pass. Do not write passes for students who
are not doing an assignment for you. Do not send student volunteers to sit
in the media center. Subs may not send students to the
media center (Note this in your lesson plan).
Checking Out & Reserving Materials
Teachers have unlimited checkouts for books and DVDs for as long as needed. Check DVD’S out at the desk to avoid setting off the security alarm.
Return items as soon as you are finished with them so others may use them.
Teachers are responsible for any lost or damaged materials.
Teachers may request that books related to a current class assignment be pulled and placed on “Reserve” for their classes.
Use of Computers Schedule use of media computers
with the media specialists. Provide a copy of the assignment
prior to the visit. Check to see that all students have a
current AUP on file. Make sure all students are wearing
their IDs. Complete the seating chart as soon
as students are seated.
Use of Computers (continued) Students are not allowed to play
games or email. Sharing may be necessary. We have
students who are assigned to the media center to complete online courses or dual credit assignments. We also have some class periods when all computer labs are blocked out for APEX.
Testing gets priority.
