Weekly Newsletter
This week, I am excited to shine the spotlight on our EC Library.
The Wildcat Library's mission is to provide activities and resources to support the school's curricula and to assist students and staff in 1) becoming effective and discriminating users of information; 2) developing a pattern of lifelong learning, and 3) fostering a love of reading. Our vision is to help build a generation of students who can successfully meet the challenges of an ever-changing 21st century by providing technology, resources, instruction, and opportunities for collaboration that maximize student learning. We offer a variety of ways for students to access information resources in both online and print formats. The library is open before and after school to help students meet both their academic and social emotional needs such as finding reliable information resources. The library communicates with all students and families through email related to owed materials or renewing of library books. In addition, we offer after school peer tutoring sponsored by National Honor Society students on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays after school for an hour.
View the Wildcat Library Website for our how-to-guides for online resources, our hours, and additional information.
For more information, please contact Dr. Jeanna Wersebe, Teacher Librarian, at jeanna.wersebe@oside.us.
Textbook and Chromebook questions, contact Mackenzie Weaver, AV/Textbook Technician, at mackenzie.weaver@oside.us.
