Students may have 5 books at any one time. However, due to our limited

are limited to an overnight loan only. The reference books will be

a day. Videos and magazines are not available for circulation.
We ask that all materials be returned in the condition in which they are
checked out. Overdue notices will be handed out in English classes.

Media Computers
Media computers house various online
databases and our automated card catalog for student and faculty use.
Our webpage canbe used as an excellent link to specific webpages and educational
sights. The computers may also be used for Internet searching if the student
has a signed Internet user agreement on file. The Internet may only
be used for school related assignments. Classes receive top priority
during the school day. It is the teachers' responsibility to insure
only students with signed and filed Internet user agreements may log on
to the Internet.
Passes
Each student must have a media
center pass issued by their teacher. The pass will specify the purpose
of the visit. Each teacher may send two students per class period.
If a teacher must send more than two students, please make arrangements
with the media center in advance, we will try and meet requests.
Substitutes are not allowed to send students to the media center.
Regardless of what time the student enters the media center, they must
sign in and out. Teachers who have reserved the media center for
their classes will be given priority. If the media center is at capacity,
students may be sent to the computer labs IF THERE IS ROOM AND STAFF AVAILABLE.
Computer Labs
Labs are available through the
sign up procedure housed in the media center. All teachers may use
the labs for their classes. Please indicate the number of students you
will be bringing in and what you will be working on. Additional students
might be sent to these labs if there is space and the media center computers
are in use. All students must sign in on the sheet housed in the
lab and the computer number must be indicated. Report all computer
problems immediately. Login is the the student's ID number. However,
if the number begins with zeros delete them. Password is their last
name. Example:
5055
