The library at Arnold Magnet Academy strives to be a
place that is welcoming and friendly to all students. This technology-rich
environment hosts a full size computer lab of 28 student stations, and is open to
individual students and classes alike. Our 13,000+ collection of books is
sure to entice all types of readers, with many of the books having matching
Accelerated Reader (AR) test.
Our Media Center's Policies are as follows:
-
Students must have their ID's to check materials out
of the library.
-
Students may have up to three books/magazines checked
out at a time.
-
The loan period for books/magazines is two weeks and
the due date is stamped in the back of the book.
-
There is no monetary penalty for overdue books, but
students must check out "Loaner Books" if they have a book that is overdue.
-
Students are responsible for the cost of all books
checked out in their name.
-
Students are allowed to print two pages in the
library each day as long as the material pertains to school research or
projects.
-
The library is open to 30 students at 8:00 AM each
day for students to use the computer, do homework, or read quietly.
-
The library closes each day at 4:00 PM.
Students may donate books to the library for RAC
points. The donated books must be an AR book, hardback, and in very good
condition. The Media Specialist reserves the right to refuse books that
are unacceptable or not needed. Students can earn 5 RAC points for each
accepted book.

ID Badges
Each student is given their ID badge during homeroom and is to wear throughout
the school day. At the end of the school day, the student is to turn their
ID badge into their last academic class teacher. If a student loses
his/her ID badge there is a $5 replacement fee. If a student loses/damages
his/her Badge holder there is a $1 replacement fee. If a student
loses/damages his/her green lanyard there is a $1 replacement fee.
Students need to wear these at all times during the school day for safety.
They must be visible. If a student is not wearing his/her ID badge or
loses it, discipline action will be taken.
Please encourage the students to take care of these as they are used in the
media center, the cafeteria, in the computer lab, and even in the classrooms
daily. |
