During class a pass is required from your teacher.
To visit the media center during lunch, stop by any time before lunch to get a pass or ask one of your teachers to write a pass for you. The front office will no longer issue passes to visit the media center during lunch.

Food and drinks may be brought into the media center. However, while eating your lunch or snack, you will sit at one of the tables away from the computers. Once you finish your lunch or snack, you are then expected to throw your garbage away in the trash can and clean your table. Sanitizer wipes are available at the circulation desk. No beverages (drinks) will be allowed at or near the computers. You may keep a bottle of water with a cap on the floor near your chair while you work on the computer. If you are unable to follow these rules and/or do not clean up after yourself, then you may be banned from bringing food and drinks into the media center.
