    LRC Policies and Procedures:

     

    • A pass is always required during school hours and must be shown to library personnel upon entering the area. If a student does not have a pass, he/she will be sent back to the classroom to receive one.

     

    •  Students are expected to check in at the circulation desk. This is not required when students are with a classroom teacher.

     

    • Bookbags/ backpacks and/or coats are not allowed in the LRC (including the Think Tank, HUB, and LRC Conference Room). If a student arrives at the LRC, with a bag or coat, he/she will be asked to return it to his/her locker.

     

    •  Food & beverages (exception water)  and/or candy should not be brought into, nor consumed, in the LRC.

     

    •  Students, in the LRC on passes, are not to leave the area without permission.

     

    •  Misuse of any technology is not allowed (refer to WCSC Acceptable Use Policy).

     

    •  Overdue notices (digital, via student e-mail accounts) are sent out every week. No fines are charged for overdue items.

     

    •  Materials should be returned in good condition. If an item is lost, or damaged, it is the student's responsibility to pay for its cost.        

     

    • Students are expected to respect their peers, staff, and library personnel. It is each person's right to have a place to concentrate and study; therefore, the LRC is not the place for leisure time discussion. Conversation among patrons should be done in a manner that does not disturb others. Students who are not using their time in the LRC effectively and/or are disturbing others, will be sent back to class.

     

    • Students should remain seated until dismissed by the bell, library personnel, or classroom teacher. Please do not line up at the doors prior to dismissal!

     

    • Misuse of the Learning Resource Center  may result in suspension of LRC privileges.

      

     

     

    WT Procedures:

     

    • If a student wants to work in the LRC during Warrior Time, he/she must see Miss Fowble prior to WT.  The WT Form will be filled out, letting the teacher know that the student has permission to be released to the LRC. Passes will not be issued once WT has begun.

     

    • If a student receives a pass, but does not arrive at the LRC for WT, LRC Personnel will follow-up with the teacher to verify if the student decided to stay in the classroom. If the student signed out to the LRC, and did not arrive, the Attendance Office will be notified.

     

    • If a student would like to come to the LRC,  to check out a book/pick up a print out (only), he/she should ask his/her WT teacher for the LRC’s laminated blue “LRC Book Pass” or neon green “LRC Printer Pass”. *5-10 minute passes
