B. BUILDING LOCKER SEARCH POLICY
The lockers supplied by the Board and used by the pupils are the property of the Hudson Board of
Education. The lockers and the contents of all lockers are subject to random search at any time without
regard to whether there is a reasonable suspicion that any locker or its contents contains evidence of a
violation of a criminal statute or a school rule. Anything that is found in the course of a search that may be
evidence of a violation of school rules or the law may be taken and held or turned over to the police.

LOST AND FOUND

Lost and found clothing, books, and other material are on display in the commons on a rack or in the
Student Resource Center. At the end of each quarter, all unclaimed items are donated to a
charitable organization. Please label all belongings.

MEDIA CENTER

Students are welcome to use all resources available in the Media Center before school, during their study
halls or team supports, or after school. All students are required to sign in or have a pass when entering
during the school day. Resources include reference materials, books, ebooks, audiobooks/Playaways,
periodicals, and newspapers. A copy machine, computers with a variety of databases for research, and
printers are among the services available for student use.

The library program provides classes for students in essential 21st century skills of inquiry, ethical
behavior, technology, information literacy and media literacy as well as reading for enjoyment. Classes are
designed and scheduled with teachers to support their units of study.

Students have access to the online catalog, INFOhio databases, subscription databases and pathfinders
24/7 through the library website: http://www.hudson.k12.oh.us/middleschool/library. The username
and password for the INFOhio databases are USERNAME: hudson PASSWORD: exp. Passwords for
other databases are posted in a Google doc on the Media Center site for students to access 24/7.
Pathfinders include links to guide students to online resources about specific research topics. Students
may also utilize our Sora subscription for reading e/audiobooks and Flipster for viewing digital magazine
subscriptions.

Cost for unreturned books will remain on students' accounts until reconciled. Materials may be checked
out for 2 weeks and renewed for another 2 weeks.

Student iPads: Each student will be issued a district-owned iPad and charger. We are extremely fortunate
to have these learning devices for our students’ educational experience. We want our students to
understand the importance of using devices responsibly. This responsibility includes bringing the device to
class each day, fully charged, and ready for learning. If you are having any issues with your device,
technology support is available in the media center.
