Ending the Year Activities

At the end of the school year, there are many activities and procedures that need to be prioritized and accomplished before the library media center goes dormant for the summer.

• --Here is a list of "Library Year-end Activities" which need to be accomplished before the library media specialist goes off-duty .

IMPORTANT:  Store digital devices in the school media center in an organized way so that they can be redistributed in the Fall.

IMPORTANT: This infomation went out to TA's from Travis True.  

"I'm sharing the end of year staff check-out document with you. Please work with your principal on developing a plan to collect Laptops/iPads/Chromebooks from teachers in your building who are leaving the district.

If you have teachers transferring to another building in the district, they may take their laptop with them, but must leave their iPad/Chromebook with you. 

I'm also attaching updated Google Takeout instructions to be shared with staff and any students who are not returning to the district.
