Study Hall Students:
This year we saw, on average 150 students from study halls, lunches, and open campus per day. As of March, we are using Power School to track student sign-ins. The daily sign-in numbers are now higher, and a more accurate reflection of student library usage.
Students come to the library during these times to check out books, work on homework, collaborate on projects, and to utilize library computers. Librarians assist study hall students with homework, research projects, locating resources, works cited formatting and proper citations, writing and proof-reading, technical support for Chromebooks, loaner Chromebooks and login assistance for various student accounts.
