Library Media Services
Welcome to the Library Media Services Program
The Library Learning Commons is the hub of our schools and plays a central role in the education of our children. In addition to a physical and virtual space that provides students, the school and community resources to support student learning. The philosophy of our Library Media Program is one of flexible, open-access to support all curricular areas and personal interests. In addition to providing a variety of print and electronic resources, our media centers also deliver a challenging, collaborative, standards-based curriculum based on transdisciplinary strands. The curriculum aligns with national and state standards (Connecticut State, ISTE and AASL) as well as supporting our Vision of the Graduate.
Digital Citizenship Curriculum
Digital Citizenship: appropriate, responsible, ethical and effective use of technology.
The District uses a robust filtering device to comply with CIPA and COPPA laws and to ensure inappropriate content is filtered for students at school (K-12) as well as at home (K-8).
That being said, the BEST filter is the adult: teachers, staff at school and the parents at home. Our guidelines, links and resources will be helpful in ensuring a productive, valuable and meaningful experience when students use their devices at home.
What do we teach our students at school?

Elementary: K-5
