School Wide Plan
Rationale

The benefit reading has on students’ academic achievement is proven by many studies. When students read, they are exposed to skills that greatly enhance their academic endeavors. The more students read and comprehend written material, the higher they score on standard achievement tests. As a result, many school systems employ a variety of reading activities as part of their Library media programs. The following two year plan shows reading activities that our school's Library Media Specialist plan to implement in the future.

This monthly forum also provides the perfect opportunities to discuss any resource deficiencies, facilitate needed training, fellowship with faculty and staff.
