Camera Check Out RemindersCameras can be checked out at the end of each school day at 2:45. You may only check a camera out directly from me (Mrs. Bjork). Don't just take one off the shelf even if you're in that class room at the end of the day with another teacher. You have to get the camera from me, have me check it over to be sure all the parts are in the bag. You can then sign it out on the sheet. Cameras are due back during resource the next morning. If it is a Wednesday and I am in a meeting you need to stop by at the start of first hour to drop it off. I will give you a pass if needed to first hour. When returning the camera have it ready for me to inspect and then sign in the date you returned it. If you are absent it is your responsibility to get the camera returned to school by your parent. They can drop it office to the attendance secretary in the office. If you don't follow these rules you may jeopardize your ability to be allowed to check out a camera in the future.
