After School Procedure
- Teachers who have stayed after-school to help students may utilize the library for student supervision for the "lag time" between when the students are done and when the activity bus departs. Teachers that want to use this service must call the library from their classroom or deliver the student in person.
- Clubs/Sports sponsors who are supervising students after school are responsible for their students until the upper cafeteria holding pen is open.
