SPARTAN TIME
- You
do not need a pass for Spartan Time, but the maximum occupancy of
the library is 107 students, so you have to arrive early to get in.
You cannot come after the bell has rung (no passes accepted).
- We regularly have to turn students away, so only come to the library if you plan to work on an assignment. This is not an appropriate time or place to socialize.
- We
only stamp school planners. Make sure you have your planner with you.
For efficient entry, please have the planner open to the student's
barcode to be scanned by a librarian.
- Once
you have entered the library for Spartan Time, you cannot leave. If
you need to use library resources for only five or ten minutes, please
come at break, lunch, or after school.
