Saint Viator High School

Resource Center Guidelines
• The resource center is normally an area of quiet study; it is also possible for students to arrange
to study as a group or work on a project in the conference rooms. The staff is available to help
students and teachers find materials in many formats for either school or personal use.
• All students are welcome to borrow books or folders from the vertical file at any time. Except
in special cases (e.g., when many students need to use the same materials), the librarian will not
limit the number of materials that may be borrowed.
• Books are borrowed for a two-week period but may be renewed.
• Materials may be returned to the book drop or placed on the circulation desk as well as given
directly to a member of the staff.
• There is a 10¢ per day fine for each school day a book is overdue.
• The small group study rooms are available for students’ use on a first come-first served basis.
• All food, gum and beverages are prohibited in the resource center.
• A student may be asked to study in a different location or leave the resource center if his/her
behavior is disrupting the quiet atmosphere of the room.

Scott R. Scanlan Center
In 1993, Saint Viator High School established the Scott R. Scanlan Center to provide a program for
students who have specific diagnosed learning differences but who have the potential to succeed
academically. Students must qualify for this program by meeting a specific set of criteria with
current educational diagnostic testing on file.

Students are not permitted to have any medications with them or in their lockers at any time. This
includes non-prescription medicine. Exceptions for life-threatening circumstances, including
inhalers, Epipens, etc. must be specified by your child’s physician and cleared by the Deans’ Office.
