Passes to the Library Return to top.

During class time all students need a pass to be in the Library. If you do NOT have a class, you will need to plan ahead and obtain a Library pass from one of your current teachers. No personal email during class time.

Computers are only for research and wordprocessing during classtime. Teachers' classes who have signed up to use the Library will have first access to computers. Drop-in students (those with passes) will be asked to leave the computer, if a scheduled class needs the computer. The Computer Lab in Room 220 is also available for students to use from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day.

During breaks or before and after school, no passes are needed. All students are welcome to use the Library and to check personal email.
