Expectations in the library for student behavior are rooted in our school values.
WE CARE FOR EACH OTHER
Students recognize that the library is a community space. They care for each other by treating the librarian, each other, books, computers and materials with care. Students listen actively to the librarian and to each other.
WE ARE HONEST
Students are accountable for their behavior. They return materials on time and in good condition. They make restitution for lost materials or unsatisfactory behavior.
WE CHALLENGE OURSELVES
Students seek age-appropriate materials and learning experiences that help them grow as readers and learners.
WE HONOR CULTURE AND IDENTITY
Students respect each other’s’ differences and seek to learn more about each other.
WE BELIEVE WE ARE CAPABLE
Students come to the library prepared to read and learn. They enter and exit quietly and follow directions the first time.
If a student is unable to meet expectations during their library visit, the following will occur:
-
First: Students will be warned if their learning behavior is unexpected and prompted with the expected behavior.
-
Then: If unexpected behavior continues, student will be prompted with expected behavior and warned of a time out from the community/learning group in which they will still be responsible for their learning.
-
Last: If a student's behavior stops the class' learning the student will need to take a break and the librarian, classroom teacher, and counselor will work with the student to teach the expected behavior to ensure learning for all can resume for the next visit.
