For
audiovisual reservations, PLEASE give us TWO DAYS notice.
Candy does a wonderful job managing our audiovisual resources and it’s
much easier for her when there is enough notice given (exceptions are
made for emergency absences).
The
photocopiers in the Media Center are for student and teacher use.
However, these are only to be used by teachers for quick copy tasks.
Any copy task of more than 20 should go to the
Copy Center
upstairs. The copy machines upstairs are faster and cheaper to operate
than the ones in the Media Center. Jean and Kathy are there from 6:30
a.m. to 2:30 p.m. and can do all your copies, including collating and
stapling.

The
following are policies and protocols for students and classes using the
Library:
Lunch
Policy (High School):
Students must be in the Media
Center by the bell and sign in. Otherwise they need a pass from us or a
teacher.
During
Class Use Policy:
Students sent to the Library during class need a pass from a teacher,
preferably the Quabbin Regional MS/HS Permission slip. Having a pass
helps us determine if a student is legitimate or not.
Games/MySpace:
Students should not
play games on computers in the Media Center or computer labs during
regular school hours. Also, networking sites such as MySpace are
blocked and students should not be using them.
Teacher
presence: The
administration strongly recommends that while at the Library, teachers
should stay with their classes. Of course, short trips to the classroom
or bathroom are fine. Because of the demands on the time of the Library
staff, if left alone, students will not be directly observed and they
may get off task.
After
School Policy: On
Wednesdays, students need passes from a teacher to go to the Library if
the student is from Middle School. High School students do not need
this pass, however, they do need to sign in and out and obtain a pass if
they leave for any reason. |
