Media Center Policies
The media center is home to an extensive collection of materials in many formats that support all curricula areas. Internet access, as well as word processing, spreadsheet, and presentation programs are available on all computers in the media center. Priority will be given to students who are with a scheduled class.
The media center staff is available at all times to assist students and staff.
Students and parents should be familiar with the Parsippany-Troy Hills Township School District Telecommunications Policy. All students are required to complete an application, signed by a parent or guardian, for use of a network account.
Each student is issued an identification card upon entering Parsippany High School. This card serves as a library card. Replacement fee is $5.75.
There are no fines for overdue books but students are expected to return materials on time. Overdue notices will be sent through the homeroom. Students who fail to respond to overdue notices will be subject to disciplinary action by the Vice-Principals. Students are expected to pay for any lost items.
Students may come to the media center during their assigned study hall period if they have received permission from an academic teacher and they require resources available in the media center. The media center is not an alternative study hall. Students must sign-in at the beginning of the period for attendance purposes.
During lunch students may use the media center. However, they must arrive at the beginning of the period and request a pass to the cafeteria when their work is completed.
Seniors with a free period must arrive at the beginning of the period and are expected to remain in the Media Center for the entire period.
The district has a copyright policy in place. Please see the media specialists for more information on this subject.
Absolutely no food, beverages or personal electronic devices are allowed in the media center at any time.
