Sending students to the Library
Blue Library Passes
*Students MUST have a blue library pass when they come to the library from your classroom. Please make sure you fill out the pass in its entirety. Students will sign in when they come to the library.
*Please contact library staff if you need more library passes.
*If you are a coach and cannot access your passes, please message the library staff and let us know you are sending students to the library.
*Questions? Feel free to message the Library Staff.
Learning Commons
*Students are welcome to come to the Learning Commons to take a brain break, use crafting supplies, play games, etc., as long as they come to the library with a blue pass. While we do not have a traditional "quiet" library, students who are too disruptive will be sent back to class.
*Questions? Feel free to message the Library Staff.
