<div dir="ltr">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. <div><br></div><div>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.</div><div><br></div><div>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. </div><div><br></div><div>Michelle Harris</div><div>Heyworth</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, Feb 22, 2021 at 3:13 PM Renee Welch via AISLE <<a href="mailto:aisle@list.railslibraries.info">aisle@list.railslibraries.info</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:garamond,"times new roman",serif;font-size:large">TWO questions....Day 1 of 1:1 and I loaned out 7 CBs to middle schoolers who forgot theirs at home.
