Library periods are divided into the following classifications:
Periods 1-4 & 8-10 - The Library is open to scheduled classes. All teachers schedule class time in the Library. Any additional students must have a signed pass from their subject teacher to be admitted. Substitute teachers cannot send students to the Library during these periods. Students with free periods must stay in Senior Court.
Academic Resource Periods (5A, 6B, 7C) - All students report to their assigned classroom and check in with their AR teacher. Using special AR Library passes, each teacher can send 2 students per block to the Library. Mrs. Aranyos will collect the passes in a basket on the circulation desk, and students will also have to type their ID numbers into a keypad at the circulation desk as well. The Library is closed 1 rotating block every day for Mrs. Aranyos' lunch. Sometimes the Library hosts special events, and will have to close to general AR students, and when Mrs. Aranyos is absent, the Library will be closed all blocks.
