Excellence & Success for All Students

Library Home

Stokes Library

 

Each class has a scheduled 45-minute period. During this time, students listen to stories, learn information and research skills, check out and renew books, and read.

All grades are allowed to check out 1 book. If the class is working on a research project, they may take an additional book.

If a student damages or loses a book, there is a replacement fee that will need to be paid. The replacement fee is determined by the cost of the book.

In addition to the regularly scheduled period, students can exchange books Tuesday, Thursday, or Friday from 2:30 - 3:10

Mission Statement

It is the mission of the School Library Media Center to ensure that all students develop the skills that are necessary to become independent, capable, and competent information users and lifelong learners. These skills include the ability to locate, access, evaluate, organize, integrate, use and communicate information and ideas from a wide variety of sources and formats. Library instruction therefore, integrates information skills into curriculum units rather that teaching them in isolation. Student centered research projects are developed and coordinated through a cooperative effort with classroom teachers. These hands-on activities recognize the standards set by the State of New York.

Internet Safety Tips

    • Never Share Personal Information Online: This includes your full name, address, phone number, or any other information that could identify you.
    • Think Before You Post: Once something is online, it's hard to take it back. Be careful about what you share on social media or other websites. Be a good digital citizen.
    • Don't Talk to Strangers Online: Just like in real life, you shouldn't talk to strangers online. If someone you don't know messages you, don't respond.
    • Tell a Trusted Adult: If something makes you feel uncomfortable online, tell a parent, teacher, or another trusted adult right away.

     

    By practicing these behaviors, students can become responsible and respectful digital citizens who contribute positively to the online community
