Library night is on Thursday nights from 5:00-7:00 PM, students can check out books and take AR quizzes in the computer lab.
Dear Parents and Guardians: We are updating or rules for Computer Lab/ Library Nights on Thursdays. The purpose of the AR program is to instill good reading habits in students. Therefore we will limit the number of books that can be checked out and quizzes that can be taken in one evening to 4 books. If students do take more, the teacher may delete those quizzes. Please make sure that your children are choosing challenging books that they can read and reread thoughtfully before quizzing. Thank you for your support with these changes. Computer Lab rules for Thursday evenings are as follows:
1. Students must read books before taking quizzes.
2. Students take quizzes on their own.
3. (Grades 1-5) Parents should sit in the chairs provided on the side.
4. Parents of kindergarteners – please help students log on, but do not help them with their quiz.
5. Parents of kindergarteners – If your child’s teacher has given you permission to do so, you may read the quiz to your child, but please mark – “READ TO” when logging on.
6. Students should take quizzes on no more than 4 books in one evening. Teachers may delete quizzes if more are taken.
