Media Center Rules
 
Please note that the District Wide Code of Conduct is practiced in the media center.  Students will be given an orientation during the first week of school to review media center rules, policies and procedures.  We thought we’d take this opportunity to acquaint you with some of these that are particular to the media center.
  • Students must report DIRECTLY to the media center from study hall or classroom.  Students MUST ARRIVE within a reasonable amount of the time posted on the study hall/classroom pass.  Students arriving late will be marked tardy.
  • The media center opens at 7:30 a.m. for students who need to use library resources or complete homework assignments ONLY.  This will be considered a silent study hall.  Students who come to socialize will be considered “disruptive.
  • Students who are disruptive during study hall will be given 1 warning.  Repeated disruptions will result in the student being sent back to class, losing media center privileges during study hall for a period of five days, and receiving a detention.
  • Students must arrive at the media center prepared to work. 
  • Any student receiving 3 detentions will lose media center privileges for the duration of the semester.


Loan Policy
Library books are loaned for 10 school days.  The fine for overdue books is $.05 per school day. We do not charge fines for weekends and school breaks. The fine for overnight materials, which includes reference books, reserve books and magazines, is $.25 per school day.

Students who lose a book will be assessed for the cost of the book plus a $2.00 processing fee.

Students will receive overdue notices the middle of the quarter and the last three weeks of each quarter.  Overdue books must be returned and all fines and fees must be paid by the end of the quarter in order to be eligible for the good conduct/effort award.  In addition, notices are mailed to parents at the end of each semester.  Parents may be contacted sooner if a student has long overdue books or excessively large fines.  Students with overdue items and/or large fines risk losing library loan privileges until such items are returned and fines are paid.
