*Media Center Policies for Students*
Visiting the Media Center:
The Media Center is open at all times throughout the instructional day. Availability for general or reserved use will be based upon scheduled reservations by the classroom teacher. If classes or meetings are being conducted in the Media Center, general admission for individuals will be limited. The Media Center on the main campus is open daily from 7:30 AM to 3:45 PM and the Media Center at NGC is open from 7:30 AM to 3:30 PM.
Student Sign in Procedures:
Students who come to the Media Center unaccompanied by a teacher must have a pass from the teacher and electronically sign in/out at the Student Check-In Station. The teacher's pass must state the purpose of the student's visit, the date, and time.
Circulation Procedures:
Students may check out three books at a time for 10 school days unless they have overdue or lost books. Students are allowed to renew books, but must present books at the time of renewal.
Overdue and Lost Materials:
If a student has an overdue book, additional materials may not be checked out until the item is returned and fines are paid. An overdue fine of $.05 per day, per item, will ecru until overdue materials are returned. If materials are lost or damaged, the student/parent/guardian will be responsible for paying for replacement costs. Replacement costs include the cost to replace the material(s) plus a $3 processing fee. Overdue notices will be given to homeroom/1st period teachers to distribute to students who have fines. All Media Center fines must be paid in full prior to graduation.
Privacy Policy:
We respect our patrons’ privacy. It is the policy of the JCHS Media Center that patron circulation information be kept confidential. Media staff will not provide patron information to anyone but the patron themselves (e.g. library staff will not tell a patron the name of another patron who has checked out a particular resource).
Internet/Wireless Access:
Each JCHS student is provided with a username and password to access the internet/wireless network for the purpose of furthering educational goals, objectives, and instructional programs of the school. Students must comply with the Acceptable Use Agreement/BYOD Parent Permission Form as published in the JCHS handbook. Internet filters have been put in place to block inappropriate sites. These perimeters are in place for the protection and safety of our students. Any attempt to override these filters or use personal data to access websites that are otherwise blocked on JCSS property will result in disciplinary action.
Student Storage/Communication:
Each student is provided with a Microsoft Office 365 account that includes access to One Drive. Student work should be stored in One Drive so it can be accessed.
Personal Devices:
All privately purchased, personally owned devices such as cell phones, iPads, iPods, tablets, laptops, etc. are the sole responsibility of the owner. JCHS is not responsible for lost, stolen, or damaged devices. If a device is stolen or damaged, the situation will be handled through the administrative office similarly to other personal artifacts that are impacted in similar situations. It is recommended that skins (decals) and other custom touches are used to physically identify your device from others. Additionally, protective cases for technology are encouraged. Students are expected to use the JCSSBYOD network at all times while on school property. In accordance with the Children’s Internet Protection Act (CIPA), only the Jones County Wi-Fi provided by the school should be accessed while on campus. Personal Internet connective devices such as but not limited to cell phones/cell network adapters should not be used to access outside Internet sources at any time. Social networking and inappropriate sites are strictly prohibited. Be advised that your device(s) can be subject to search and seizure by law enforcement whereby State and Federal laws apply.
Printing Fees:
There is a charge of ten cents ($.10) per page for black and white prints and twenty five cents ($.25) per page for color prints. Photocopies can be made for ten cents ($.10) per copy. All printing must be paid for at the time of printing.
Student Conduct:
Students are expected to be engaged in quiet, productive activities while visiting the Media Center. Students are expected to follow instructions from staff, be courteous, show consideration, and respect the rights of others in the Media Center. Consequences of inappropriate behavior will result in a loss of privileges or a referral to the office.
