Welcome to the Media Center 2013-2014

PBIS in the media center BE responsible, respectful & safe. What does this look like in the media center?

Responsible behavior in the media center looks like Arriving ready to work. Arriving with your class or with the permission of your teacher. Waiting quietly in the check out line. Using your library voice Taking very good care of the books.

Respectful behavior looks like… Using polite language. Showing kindness to others. Helping each other locate books Following the directions of the adults in the room. Using the furniture and computers with great care.

Safe behavior in the media center looks like… Walking in the media center. Keeping your hands, feet and belongings to yourself. Conducting yourself in keeping with being in a library not on the playground or the blacktop.
