Policies

Passes 

Students are allowed in the library before school, during lunch with a pass from me, and most days after school. Students can come to me before school or the day before to obtain a lunch pass. I will not write any same-day lunch passes during the lunch block. 

Some students have permanent lunch passes. These students know the rules and have proven themselves to behave well in the library. If they break the rules, the passes will be taken away for one week for the first offense, then permanently for the second. If these students are yours and are late coming back from lunch, please email me and I will revoke their passes. 

During the school day, students are allowed with a pass; however, ALL passes should have:

• Date
• Time
• Teacher's legible name and signature (preferably with room number as well)
• Student's name
• Reason for visit (i.e. research, computer, finding a book, etc) and 
• Indicate if the student is expected back in class or can stay the remainder of the period if work is finished 

Teachers may pick up pre-printed passes in the library or I can email them to you. 

Students must behave appropriately in the library. If they are unable to do so, they will be sent back to class.

Circulation

Students will need an ID to check out materials.

Students may check out two books at a time. If more books are needed, exceptions can be made on a case-by-case basis.

Items circulate for two weeks and can be renewed. Students must return overdue material before checking out new items.

Class Visits

Please visit the Library Reservations Page.

Library Closings

There are times when the library will be closed (testing, etc.) I will do my best to send an email announcing this as far in advance as possible. There will also be signs on the library doors announcing closings so that students and staff will know.
