MISSION
|
The mission of the school Media Center is to create a foundation to lifelong learning and love of literature through a diverse library media information literacy and literature based program.
- By providing sources in many formats, students are aided in the completion of assignments, exploration of ideas, and selecting a wide variety of recreational reading titles on many levels and topics. In addition, the library media program is designed to provide an environment in which students can learn to locate, process and use information and technology ethically, creatively, and critically, thereby being empowered to become lifelong learners.
- By promoting literacy and the enjoyment of reading, our goal is for students to become lifelong recreational readers and informed users of information.
- By designing the Library Media center program to incorporate cooperative planning with teachers and community members, we can help implement the teaching of literacy relating to core content and classroom activities.

TECHNOLOGY POLICY
|
Technology is an integral part of our Library Media Center. The Library Media Center is the home of a computer mini lab. Students use computers for author studies, on-line WebQuests, research, creating and editing projects, AR tests, and searching the on-line catalog to locate titles.
- Prior to using library computers, each student will need to return the JCPS Acceptable Use Policy form signed by their guardian and returned to the school office.
- Computers are available for students, small student groups, and teachers working with small groups.
- A flexible computer schedule permits individuals to come to the LMC throughout the day to use the library computers with their teacher's permission.
