All English and ESOL classes were introduced to several of our district's digital resources. The lesson covered mySAISD to check grades, Office 365 to email their teacher, Single Sign On to explore the library's resources, and Gale Student Resources to forward an article to their email account.

Book Circulation
Studies have shown that reading for pleasure is beneficial for students. Students that read more generally score better on tests. The circulation numbers for book checkouts at Edison dramatically increased with the inclusion of all English classes during orientation. Please help continue this trend by encouraging your students to read for pleasure and schedule trips to the library just for book checkouts.
ALL content areas are encouraged to schedule trips to the library.
