LIBRARY MEDIA
Additional Information
VS30 libraries are 21st century learning environments offering a variety of print and electronic resources to students. Documented research has proven a positive correlation between a strong library media program and student academic achievement. Each library is staffed by a highly-qualified library media specialist who provides 45 minutes of library media instruction per week to all grade levels. In collaboration with the classroom teacher, the library media specialist provides the skills and resources that support 30's curriculum. The library media specialist maintains the print and electronic resources and evaluates the collections for relevance to the educational program.
The goal of library instruction is to teach students how to access, evaluate and apply information both in the classroom and in real world situations. In addition, students are encouraged to grow as readers, to appreciate literature, and become life-long learners.
National Spelling Bee
The library also supports students who are interested in participating in the Scripps National Spelling Bee.
Each year students are provided with an opportunity to participate in the The Scripps National Spelling Bee which helps them to improve their spelling, increase their vocabularies, learn concepts and develop correct English usage that will help them all their lives.
