If a student has lost or damaged their school issued charger, they will need to purchase a replacement. Students may purchase a charger from the school for $25 by emailing jmtucker@gaston.k12.nc.us. Approved chargers may also be purchased for a lower price from Amazon or Walmart.

Mission Statement
To provide diverse resources in an environment that promotes literacy and encourages critical thinking, curiosity, creativity, and lifelong learning.
Policies and Procedures:
Students not accompanied by a teacher must bring a hall pass or notify the Media Specialist before visiting the Media Center.
Returned books should be placed on the circulation desk next to the check in computer.
Students may have two books checked out at a time and may keep them for two weeks.
Books may be renewed once unless it is a popular series book, a high demand book, or a hold has been placed on the book by another student.
There are no overdue fines for late books. However, students may have restricted check-outs until the overdue item is returned.
Accidents happen but books that are lost or damaged beyond repair must be paid for by the person responsible. Replacement cost is a flat fee of $10. It is recommended that students report any damage they notice to materials they are checking out to the Media Specialist BEFORE leaving the Media Center so that it can be noted.

Please use a conversational tone of voice.
Take care of all checked out items.
Place unwanted items on the circulation desk next to the check in computer so they can be shelved correctly.
