The Media Center staff will be available for assistance in finding useful web sites and valid information pertaining to your topic. The Media Center has access to several professional and educational databases that students are encouraged to use.
Home Room Passes -Students may visit the Media Center during homeroom if they obtain an orange HR pass from the MC staff before school or in between 1st & 2nd hours. The student's name will be written down on a list. If students do not come in for HR once a pass has been obtained, they will be called to the main office. Only students that have obtained the Media Center pass will be allowed to remain in the MC. All students obtaining a MC HR pass will remain in the MC until the 3rd hour bell. Students taking a short quiz or test for a teacher will be allowed to visit on a regular Hall pass from the teacher. If you wish to cancel your HR pass, please visit the MC before HR begins and turn in your HR pass to MC staff.
