LIBRARY POLICIES

Welcome to Pio Pico Span School Library. Students may use the library during Recess, Nutrition, and Lunch, before school from 7:30 and after school until 4:00 as long as there are no classes, meetings or testing at those times. There are 11 computers available for student use, but students must have an Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) form signed by guardians on file in the library if they want to use the Internet. Students may check Connect 4, Checkers or Chess for use in the library.  Students may check out books to take home from 3rd to 8th grade.  Kindergarten, 1st and 2nd grade may check out books to take back to their classrooms when they come to the library with their teachers.  We have Middle School textbooks available for homework/classwork if students need them. Your Teacher Librarian is Ms. Keough and Ms. Rosales is the Library Aide. 

LIBRARY RULES:
  • Respect adults and other students
  • No bad language, threats, or fighting
  • Books are checked out for two weeks and can be renewed up to two times. Students must pay for lost books or books maliciously damaged.
  • Middle School student pay fines for overdue books (10 cents per day per book). Middle School students who are delinquent (overdue books, lost/damaged books, or fines) will not be allowed to participate in Middle School activities (including Culmination) until they have cleared their library records.
  • Middle School Students may be sent to the library for independent research during class times. No more than 5 Middle School students per class may be sent to the library. 
  • All Middle School students must have a pass when coming to the library during class times Middle School students must be prepared to work in the library during class times.
  • Middle School students who come without work or who are not on task will be sent back to class. Misuse of computers (inappropriate sites, threats, harassment, vulgar language) will result in suspension of computer use for all students for 2 weeks. 
  • Students caught misusing computers face a call home to parents and possible suspension.
All this being said, we truly believe the library is the student's space.  Students are welcome and encouraged to use the library to read, to relax, to chat with their friends, to play games, to use the computers and to do school work.  We are here to help you with your research and independent reading needs.  Please ask if you need help.  We only say no, if we are busy helping someone else.
