WMS Media Center
Information for Students & Parents Checkout
Policies Circulation: Students may check out books and
magazines from the Media Center. Books
are circulated for two-week periods. It is the student’s responsibility to check-out/renew
books. Reference
books are circulated for one night only.
Students may check the reference book out at the end of the school day
and return it promptly at the beginning of the next school day. Magazines are circulated for 2 weeks. Students may renew books, but only one
2-week renewal per book is permitted. Checkout
Process: Students visit the Media Center for
book checkout on a regular basis with their Language Arts classes; however,
students are also encouraged to visit the Media Center individually as their
reading/curriculum needs dictate. Students
may place a book “on reserve” when the book they wish to read is already in
use. The Media Center staff will
notify the student’s Language Arts teachers when the book becomes available. Overdue,
Lost, and Damaged Books: The use of the Media Center and its
resources is a privilege, and WMS students are expected to keep their accounts
current. Students who do not return
their materials on time prohibit others from checking them out.
WMS does not charge fines for overdue books; however, students ARE
responsible for paying for lost or damaged books. Students receive a verbal notification
when there is an overdue book. If
the book is a month late, the Media staff contacts the students’ homes via
notes and/or phone calls. When a
student has an item that is over thirty (30) days overdue, his/her borrowing
privileges are suspended until the book is returned. Students must pay for lost or damaged
books. Internet
and Email Acceptable Use Policy: All students registered in the Wake
County Public School System will automatically be given access to the Internet.
Parents have the option of denying a child’s access to the Internet.
To exercise this option, a parent should complete and return the parental
Request to Deny Access form.
Unless otherwise stated, the parent acknowledges that parent and child
have read, understand and agree to the acceptable use of these services as
stated in the Wake County Public School System’s Student Internet Access and
Electronic Mail Policy (6446). The
policy can be found inn the Parents & Students Handbook. **
Any violation of the Wake County Public School System/Wakefield Middle
School Acceptable Use Policy will result in disciplinary action.
