NCTies Student Showcase Highlights
College and Career Week!!
Chatham PASS
Chatham County Public Libraries are excited to introduce our partnership with Chatham County Schools called Chatham PASS (Public Library Access for Student Success). This program is open for all students in Chatham County Schools. Currently, the program is only available at J.S. Waters, Pittsboro Elementary, and Virginia Cross Elementary but will expand throughout the calendar year to include all students.
The Chatham PASS program uses students’ PowerSchool ID number to access the public library’s digital and physical materials through any Chatham County Public Library location. This program expands access to library resources for increased student success. Your child’s Chatham PASS can help them complete schoolwork and improve reading skills.
If you have any questions please contact Mrs. Jeremiah, PES Media Specialist
