You MUST have your agenda signed by your teacher to use the LMC. For those in Study Hall wishing to use the LMC you need to come to the LMC FIRST EXCEPT FIRST PERIOD STUDENTS you will need to check in with your Study Hall Monitor FIRST! For periods 2-9 the monitor will send a list of students who are coming to the Media Center. The LMC is for your use. Please do not abuse the privilege or be loud or rude. If you display inappropriate behavior, you will be asked to leave. This is a public space and as such, do your part to keep the Media Center clean. You may come once daily, twice with permission - if you have good reason and are working hard on your studies. If you have extra research to do and need more time and materials, please see Mr. Falk. Once you have signed into the Media Center, you are here for that entire period. To leave the Media Center, you must have your Student Handbook as your hall pass.
When in the LMC you are to keep the talk to a BARE MINIMUM with the people AT YOUR TABLE. If this is not followed, YOU WILL BE SPLIT UP FROM THOSE AT YOUR TABLE OR YOU WILL BE SENT BACK TO CLASS OR STUDY HALL.

You will not be allowed to use the internet and/or the network without this document signed. If you are found using the internet without this document signed you will lose all school computer privileges indefinitely and will be sent to the principal for further discipline. If your parent does not sign the form and there is a particular topic that you need information on please let me know and I would be glad to look something up for you on the Internet. I just ask that you are patient and dont wait to ask until the last day the report is due!!
