How do I check out a book?
You do not need a library card to check out a book. Just bring
the book you want to the check out counter and either Mrs.
Bennett or the media aide, Mrs. Lamoreaux, will check out the
book to you.
How many books can I check out and for how long?
You may check out up to three books for ten school days. If you
need a book for a longer period, just bring it in and renew it.
What if I turn in a book late?
You are assessed 10 cents for each school day the book is late.
What if you don't have a book I want?
If you do not see the book you want here in our school's
collection, let Mrs. Bennett know. She may be able to order it
or go to a local bookstore to purchase it. It may not help you
at the moment you want the book, but it will help Mrs. Bennett to
know what books are in demand so she can order them for our
school.
How early and how late can I come to the Media Center?
The Media Center is open at 7:30 AM each day. It is open until
approximately 3:10 PM in the afternoon on Monday through
Thursday. On Fridays, when you get out early, teachers have
meetings in the Media Center so it not open past 12:40 PM on Fridays.
Can I come to the Media Center during the day?
If you want to come to the Media Center during the day you will
need to have your planner hall pass signed by your teacher.
Can I use a computer before and after school?
If you have a signed Internet Use Agreement on file in the Media
Center, you can use a computer before and after school. There is
one restriction, however... you are not allowed to "surf
the 'net." Our district's policy states that student Internet
use is only for TEACHER-DIRECTED EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES.
How do I look up my grades on the computer?
Before you can look up your grades, you must set up a PIN. Go to
www.graniteschools.org, select Parents and Students, select Student
Grade Progress , select Student Account and enter the information
requested, then Submit. Once you have set up a PIN, go back to the
Progress Reports page and enter your Student ID and PIN then click on
Login.
What if I lose a book?
If you lose a book you will need to pay for it. You will be
given a receipt showing that you paid for the book. If you find
the book later, just bring in the receipt and the book and your
money will be refunded.
How do I renew a book?
Just check in the book and it will be checked out to you again
for an additional ten days.
