Media Center
The school library is an integral part of the school's program and serves as a central resource for both students and teachers. It is the circulation center for all materials, books and media. The library enables a student to strengthen knowledge and skills in reading and in all other areas of the curriculum. Books are loaned to students for a period of one week with a renewal option. Each class is scheduled for one library period each week with additional times provided for research as requested by the teacher. Pre-kindergarten and kindergarten students come to the library for story time and general familiarity with the library. Each student is responsible for books borrowed and must pay a fine for overdue books. Any damaged or lost books must be paid for or replaced before report cards are distributed.
