Use of Library by Classes

Schedule class visits to the library with the Teacher-Librarian 2 days in advance through the Library Reservation Calendar. It is located under Main Campus Library on the Highlands High School Home Page. Notify the Librarian regarding the nature of the assignment, so that sufficient materials may be made available to the students.

Classroom teachers remain with the class and are responsible for class management. Students are expected to work quietly whether alone or in a group.

Please review library policies and procedures with classes before the library visit. If the research to be done includes databases or special reference books, please instruct students regarding proper use of materials. Inform the teacher-librarian if you wish her to instruct students in the use of any library resources.
