Hours: 7:30-3:30 M-F

Cora Yenser, IMC Director

The Instructional Media Center (IMC), located on the 2nd floor of the middle school,  will provide resources and services relevant to instruction, promote technology, foster an interest in reading, and encourage the development of lifelong information skills.

Students may use the IMC before and after school, and during study halls for quiet study, reading and research.  There are two computer areas that are available to students for school-rated projects only. Computers are not to be used for game playing or for listening to music during school hours.

Study Hall students who wish to use the IMC for study hall should report to their study hall teacher first before coming to the IMC. IMC personnel will maintain a peaceful atmosphere and students should respect the rights of others by studying or reading quietly.  It is not a place for social visiting.  The IMC staff has the right to send student back to study hall or class, if there is an overflow of students or for discipline problems.
