All school rules apply in the Media Center. Teachers are responsible for ensuring that these school rules are followed in the Media Center by their students. Students should be quiet while in the Media Center and will be instructed to leave if the volume does not respect the environment. Students need to monitor personal noise levels, especially when presentations are in progress. Students should not be sent to the Media Center because they have nothing else to do! Students who come in to socialize or "hang out" will be sent back to class.
