Fabulous Photo Tour - Secondary Spaces

This is a storage area to the right of the Die Cut Room. At the moment it stores old magazines and volumes used by History classes. There is a faculty bathroom on the right. The suspended TV/VCR faces out into a student area with about 8 4-person tables. The Special Education teachers use this area to read tests on occasion.

A view of the Die Cut room. This room contains a huge assortment of die cuts, all the bulletin board border you could want, and a telephone for private parent phone calls.


A favorite teacher workroom area! This room contains a copier, 2 computers, teacher resource books, the school video collection, easy chairs, and a TV. Who wouldn't like this place? The Special Education department uses this space, too, to read tests.




This is the entrance to the Media Production room. Access is through the main office. Up until this year, this is where the school news show was produced. The program was canceled because the teacher, who had been teaching this class for 20+ years, was considered unqualified because she does not have a degree in Media. This room is now just an English classroom. There is a divider to the left inside the classroom. It is currently in use, and there is another English classroom on the other side.

A view of the main office from the front of the circulation desk. Note the wall enclosing the office- half wall, half sliding glass windows.




A view of the main office area. The office contains individual offices for the media specialists, a copier, a laminator, a large paper cutter, storage cabinets, a sink, a work table, and access to the TV Distribution room, 2 storage rooms, and the Media Production room/classroom.




This is the TV Distribution room. It is housed off the main office area. This is where the school channels 4&5 are maintained and operated. Announcements, lunch and breakfast menus, class officer campaign speeches, PTA news, etc. are scrolled or run through the stations.



The brains of the school: THE SERVERS! The lighting is even worse in here.



The Technology Office is located in the far left corner of the Media Center. It currently houses the server closet and 3 full-time staff. Students come here for log-in problems. Teachers come here for laptop issues, log-in problems, computer lab sign-up, etc.
