Welcome to Your Library!
Get ready for the best school year ever.
The word of the year is Collaboration.
We know that you have a million things to do before our students come back. So here is a quick guide to the media center and what we can do for you this week. Feel free to contact us with random RMS questions as well. If we don't know the answer, we'll help you find it. It's why we are here.
Laminator
The laminator will run part of each day from Aug. 10th through Aug. 17th. During the year it runs on Fridays. Place the items you need laminated near the laminator in the library workroom. Please put a post-it note with your name on your items.
Cricut Machine
The supplies for the Cricut machine are located in the desk drawers below it. There are multiple cartridges available, each with several font styles and icons. Only the paper in the drawers should be used in the machine.
Letter Machine
The die cut machine has one set of capital letters and numbers as well as several icons. You will need to bring your own construction paper.
Library Books
You can use the online library catalog to search for books in the library. Teachers can check out unlimited books. Books are not due until the end of the school year. You can visit the catalog at http://goo.gl/Wcv9ZF (select Raytown Middle School then select Catalog).
Library Sign Up
You can sign up to visit the library anytime during the school year. The library has two large areas with tables (one with a SmartBoard), a lounge area, and 15 computers for student use. These areas are available every Friday and when scheduled classes are not using them. Please visit https://goo.gl/0yhr1f to sign up (scroll to the bottom of the page).
