Study hall students

[Sequoyah JHS <gdd025@SOL1.SOLINET.NET>]

In response to Karen Carpenter's request for suggestons on handling study
hall students in the library media center, I will tell you what worked for
me when I found myself with the same problem.  Fortunately, my school works
on a required hall pass policy.  When we had study halls, the subject
teacher would issue a library pass to be used during the student's study
hall period.  These were not issued unless the student had an
library assignment or a legitimate reason to come to the library.  The
student then reported to the study hall where the study hall teacher signed
the pass also before the student reported to the library.  The passes were
given to us when the student entered the library. If the student
misbehaved, the subject teacher was notified.  Oh yes, we also limited the
number of days in a row that the student could come during study hall.  The
study hall teacher was asked to monitor this.  A note in the roll book
worked well.  The study hall teachers could not issue the pass.  This
required the students to plan ahead. Junior high students need this
experience.  Hope this helps.
