[aisle] Wise ones of 1:1...desperately need your wisdom

[Michelle Harris]

We check the equipment out with the barcode (which you can do when you get
one...)  but we also keep a list on the circ desk where kids have to sign
their name and end-of-day class.  Because we GO AFTER THEM at 5 minutes
before the bell if they aren't returned.

If we have time, we send out a reminder email to the homeroom teacher
because our teachers usually check email before the end-of-day to make sure
that there aren't any changes from bus-to-car, etc.

Also, our teachers instituted a "3 strikes and you're out of luck" policy.
Because once students realized they could "forget" their Chromebook and the
library had loaners, it seemed to happen a LOT.  But now they keep track of
who has had a loaner.  You get 3 strikes and then students either have to
do without or call a parent to bring it.
