SCHEDULING THE MEDIA CENTER
The media center is the largest classroom in the school!
Its purpose is to provide information access to all students and staff alike.
Please speak directly with a media specialist to schedule time in here.
We like to collaborate whenever possible, assisting with resources, research and technology integration in your lesson plans.
Due to the lack of computer labs available to classes at our school, we encourage teachers to check out mobile laptop carts. If this proves inadequate, you are certainly welcome to use the media center, and we will even attempt to provide additional mini-notebook computers to provide more access to our students.
SPECIAL NOTE:
To try to provide access to as many as possible, we ask that teachers only plan to schedule 2 days per week maximum in the media center, and refrain from a Thurs Fri Mon Tues schedule as well.
If you have schedule time but have a change in plans, please notify us as soon as you know so we can schedule someone else.
Available equipment for use in the media center:
15 PCs
1 Black and White HP Laserjet 4515 printer
1 Color HP Laserjet 4700 printer
1 POSTER HP Designjet z3100 printer

1 photocopier (low-volume)
SCHEDULING THE MEDIA CENTER CONFERENCE ROOM
This is available for use at any time it is empty! There is a telephone in that room. If you need a special time, simply check with us and we will put a note on the door indicating your time preference.
