We have been closely monitoring weather conditions and conferring with other local agencies and our operational staff. All D303 schools will be open and operating on a normal schedule tomorrow–Tuesday, Jan. 21. We anticipate and are working to ensure regular operations on our busing routes and in our school buildings. We encourage staff and families to dress for subzero temperatures. As always, families have the option of keeping their children home if they believe the weather is too cold to be outside.
The mission of the LRC program is to provide students and staff with quality resources, guided access to information, and instruction in order to support the curriculum, enhance teaching, and foster a lifelong love of reading and learning in all students.
Checking Out Books
The library is designed to be open and responsive to the needs and interests of students and staff. Children are welcome to exchange books and browse throughout the school day. Students may check out up to four books at a time. The loan period for materials is one week; students may renew books.
Notices are sent as a reminder to return any books that are overdue. If your child loses or damages a book, he or she should inform the LRC staff so the book can be marked lost or damaged in our circulation system. The LRC Staff will contact families for replacement options.
The ability to interact with a book in a digital format is one of the most exciting developments in education today! Recent research has shown that eBooks help increase vocabulary, fluency, motivation, comprehension, and research skills. Thanks to a matching grant by the Greater St. Charles Education Foundation, D303 elementary schools have been able to purchase 275 single-use eBooks and 9 unlimited simultaneous use eBooks for our students to have constant access to books.
