Welcome
Media Center Philosophy:
Each child has unique experiences, interests and learning styles. My goal is to truly know your child well and use this knowledge to guide, support and motivate him or her. I believe that good teaching requires continual professional development, personal reflection and collaboration. The media program is designed to support the educational goals and objectives of the school system. The program provides an organized collection of print materials, non-print materials, and technology as well as the services and integrated instruction necessary for their use and enjoyment.
Behavior Expectations:
I have high expectations for the students in the media center. I expect students to contribute in a positive manner in the media center and follow the school rules.
Media Center Policies:
- First through fifth grade students may check out one to three books for one week. Renewing is possible unless reserved by student or assigned by staff member.
- Pre-K and Kindergarten students may check out one book for one week.
- Magazines may be checked out and returned before first period the next school day; overnight only.
- The library is open every morning and students may return and check out books with a library pass.
- Students in 4th and 5th grade may also come down during their recess to check out books or use the computer lab.
- Books must be returned in the same condition that they were checked out. It is the child’s responsibility to take care of our books and return them on time.
- Students may not check out any new books if they have any overdue books.
- Any overdue books must be returned or paid for prior to the last week of school.
- If your child fails to return their book or their debt is not paid they will lose special end of the year activities.
Grades:
Students will be given a participation grade every time that they come to the library. Students are expected to come to the library with a positive attitude and give every activity 100%. Interims are sent home with the classroom teacher interims and my report card grade is in the teacher comment section. If at anytime there are any questions about grades please come talk to me.
