Special Requests

See Ms. Armstrong or Ms. Berg for titles not in our collection. We can obtain items through interlibrary loan or order new titles for the library.

The IMC at Penn High School has a limited number of Chromebooks to loan for days when your personal Chromebook is in the Tech Department for repairs or if you should happen to forget yours.

• Check in: At the front desk
• If in repair: Keep the loaner until your Chromebook is returned to you
• If not in repair: Loaner is due before you leave school for the day
• ID Requirement: Penn ID required to check out a Chromebook

Printing

Students may print documents from any of the 30 networked Windows desktop computers in the Media Center to the printers “IMC1” or “IMC2.” The IMC computers are only to be used for class-related research or word processing. Please only print what you need for school assignments.

Photocopying

Photocopies are available at the front desk. Our student assistants will run copies for you—please ask the assistant at the desk when you need copies.

All students are issued a student ID at the beginning of the school year. If an ID is lost, damaged, or forgotten, students can obtain a replacement ID and lanyard in the IMC.

Cost: $3, payable in the Bookstore

How to Get a Pass

• Get an orange study hall pass from the front desk before school starts or during the previous day
• Show your Penn I.D. in order to request a pass
• Report to study hall for attendance purposes
• After attendance is taken, sign out and report to the IMC
• Sign in at the laptop and find a quiet place to work

Limited Availability

Due to classes taught in the IMC, there are a limited number of passes written each day. These are first-come-first-served. Also, no passes are written during third block.
