Media Center Policies
In order to check out materials from Lake Gem’s Media Center students must return a permission slip accepting responsibility for the materials they are using. A parent or guardian signature is also required.
Students in Kindergarten may select one book for checkout provided they have returned their previously checked out book.
Students in grades 1 - 5 may select two books for checkout provided they have returned their previously checked out materials.
A portion of the reading grade is based on the successful completion of Accelerated Reader (AR) tests.
Teachers determine AR reading level and goals based upon testing throughout the school year.
A weekly Media Center Night is offered through the school year in order to give parents an opportunity to share in helping each student to become better readers.
