Are there any special policies or procedures concerning the library that I need to be aware of?
The library will remain open during the school day unless there is campus wide testing, pre-planned events or extenuating circumstances. Teachers can reserve a space in the library if the calendar space is available, but other students on campus will also be utilizing the space. Teachers should not send more than 4 students to the library at a time, and students need a pass. Classroom passes and lunch passes will be in your teacher boxes. Please make sure to fill them in completely with your name and Room #. Include the lunch period and which section (i.e., 1st, 2nd, 3rd) your student belongs to, as shown below. Students and/or classes need to sign in on the computer at the front desk upon entry. Students need to return to class for the last 15 minutes in order to complete their exit tickets.
