INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS

PRODUCTION SERVICES Lettering & Laminating The Carol Ann Richard Media Center furnishes the supplies for teachers to make letters and patterns for use in the classroom. Teacher’s may laminate for long term use, commercial and teacher made items, that will stay in the classroom or school for teaching or display. However, if teachers wish to make items (name tags, rewards, gifts, etc.) that children will keep or are consumable, teachers must furnish their own paper or pay the CENTER for the cost of supplies.

 Orders Teachers can email or call about posters to be produced (posters are limited) and small projects done, like die cuts, and we can return materials to you on the LPSS mail currier service. If your school has a parent volunteer that comes to the Media Center you won’t have to order this way.

 Supplies When materials are constructed in the Media Center , the poster boards, construction paper, transparencies, etc. are provided. The Center, however, cannot provide extra supplies to take back to school.

The Carol Ann Richard Media Center’s website is http://www.lpssonline.com/site204.php. At the website you will find a list of our Hours of Operation/Schedule, Ellison/Accucut dies, Laminating Guidelines, LPSS Copyright Manual, Instructional Materials Selection Policy, and the District AR Guidelines. Our on-line catalog of AV/ Print Materials is also available on this site. The MAIL COURIER SERVICE delivers and picks-up instructional materials in the schools every other day.
