Library Media Center Policy
The Library Media Center is an important component of each student’s education at High Hills Elementary. The library is open Monday – Friday from 7:30 – 2:45. Students visit the library at least once weekly during their related arts period. During this time, students will receive instruction on how to appropriately use the library, book care, using online resources, research skills and digital citizenship. Students will also be allowed to use resources that allow them to think critically, create products of their own, and explore.
Check Out Policy:
Books are checked out for a period of two weeks and can then be renewed for an additional week if needed. If a student loses or damages a book while in his/her care, it must be paid for before another book can be checked out.
Accelerated Reader:
High Hills Elementary uses the Accelerated Reader (AR) program to level books in the library. Goals are set each quarter and students are rewarded for meeting their quarterly goals. Students who meet their established goals (preset amount of points at an 80% average) will be able to attend AR parties. Top AR awards will be given throughout the year. Additionally, teachers are contacted to differentiate goals for students if necessary.
