WHAT BOOK DO YOU WANT TO READ NEXT?
Repeat from last newsletter.....Creative scheduling this year for Media Center visits!
If you are interested in bringing your class to the Media Center, it can be accomplished even with study halls meeting in here.
- Step 1: contact lthomas@emersonschools.org (Ext 1402); or visit my new office (Lisa Ring's old office) location.
- Step 2: tell me the periods you will need.
- Step 3: you will be contacted as to what study halls have fewer students, and on what days.
- Step 4: you will be added and invited to the Media Center calendar.
Also: Reserve signs will be placed on tables for your classes. Study halls will be asked to sit in specific locations, but will STILL BE in the room. Please note: I teach Period 8 and cannot schedule then; I have duties Period 1, 3 and 7 but can still schedule those periods on certain days. Our Media Center calendar can be viewed here: CALENDAR. You can add our calendar by clicking on the bottom right icon, (like the one pictured below) of the calendar at this link.
