We are very excited to be starting school again and seeing all the smiling faces of our ES students! I hope you all had a great summer holiday and are ready for a super new year of learning and reading.
Here are some reminders for our students:
We share the library with everyone at CAC
This is our golden rule, and every behavior expectation follows from it:
- We use quiet voices in the library because other people are working, reading or playing here
- We return our library books promptly because other people want to read them too
- We walk in the library so we don't disturb other people
- We clean up after ourselves so that the library is neat and clean for others
You get the idea. We share the library with everyone, so we have to act like we would like others to act.
Share what you read!
We hope you did a lot of reading this summer. Stop by the library and fill out a summer reading form. You'll be entered into a lucky drawing and could win a prize to reward your efforts. Of course, the best reward of reading was the enjoyment you got out of it so don't worry if you don't get a prize.
Library bags
Remember to bring your library bag to library every week. Your library bag helps you:
- by helping you carry your books from the library and back
- by protecting your books from dust and damage
- by giving you a place to keep your books when you are not reading them at home
Library bags can be purchased from the school store. The school store bags are the perfect size for our library books.
If a student has forgotten his/her library bag, we have a small number of bags that can be checked out. Once those run out, students without bags may only take one library book home.
Summer checkouts
All library materials checked out for the summer need to be returned by Wednesday, August 17, or on the first day students return to CAC. Students with overdue summer checkout books will not be allowed to take books home.
