Teacher+Resources

= = = Teacher Services = Media specialists wear many hats. These hats are constantly changing, and each day brings new challenges. It is our goal to provide quality media services to any individual or group who visits the RMS school library. Please don't hesitate to let us know how we can help you or your classes. If it can be done, we will do our very best to accommodate you. We have magazines, newspapers, and resources available as well.

During the first few weeks of school, all students should attend a media center orientation. Please let us know when you want to schedule your team/classes. Small groups of students with passes may come to the media center during the day as well as before or after school. It is strongly encouraged that classes visit the media center regularly for check out, research, or library skills training. See the media specialist if you would like to plan a collaborative unit. Lessons and activities can be designed to meet your needs. Pathfinders and resources will also be made available by request.

Any time you want to reserve a time for your class to visit the library, please stop by the media center, call Ms. Quilici or Ms. Bramlett, or send an email with your request. A hard copy of the calendar will be available in the media center at the circulation desk. The //online// calendar will be updated frequently with changes posted to this wiki under the @Calendar section.

To ensure a good experience in the media center please help your students follow the media center guidelines found on the Students page and plan on accompanying your classes to the media center. While in the media center, be prepared to help monitor students. The media center operates on a flexible schedule, welcoming staff and small groups throughout the school day. Please let us know if there is a situation where more than 3 students will be sent at one time so we can do our best to accommodate scheduled classes and small groups at the same time.

= Teacher Check Out = Teachers are allowed to check out books, instructional materials, magazines, videos, or other resources for as long as they are needed. However, if another teacher requests an item, it will need to be returned as soon as you are finished with it. If you need to check out electronic devices or equipment, see Ms. Quilici or Ms. Bramlett.
