Media Center Home

The school media center serves as a hub for information, learning, and exploration. It provides resources that support the curriculum and enhance students' educational experiences. The media center is a place where students can discover new ideas, explore different perspectives, and develop critical thinking skills. It also serves as a space for collaboration, research, and creativity, supporting students in their academic pursuits and preparing them for success in a rapidly changing world.

Family Engagement with Digital Citizenship:
As students spend more time online—whether for learning, socializing, or entertainment—
parents play a key role in reinforcing positive digital habits at home. By being informed 
about topics like online safety, screen time, cyberbullying, and media literacy, parents can 
support their children in making smart choices and becoming responsible digital citizens.

We want to share some resources to give you guidance and keep you informed.

The Media Center uses Follett’s Destiny Library Manager to maintain our library collection. Patrons access the collection using Destiny Discover, a graphics based circulation software that allows them to search for print and digital content available in their school’s media center. Whether it’s a student or teacher looking for leisure reading/entertainment, materials to support homework or lesson planning, Destiny Discover will help them find what they’re looking for.

Destiny Discover can be accessed by students through Classlink. Look for Destiny Discover on the e-Library tab.
