Welcome to our Library!
The SCS Library is an extraordinary space brimming with enthusiasm, love, and engaging interactive activities. And, let's not forget our charming, furry library companions—Benny the Bunny and our delightful Guinea pig, Fancy. Here, students can relax, solve puzzles, build with Legos, express their creativity through art, enjoy our fidget station, or immerse themselves in captivating books. With over 18,000 books readily available, our library offers an extensive array of resources.
Moreover, we offer Renaissance Learning programs, including STAR Math and STAR Reading, to support individualized learning goals for each student. Our library provides a spacious and welcoming environment with comfortable seating areas for reading, internet access for research and online resources, and student-friendly bookshelves and displays.
At our library, we are dedicated to enriching our students' learning journeys through Renaissance Learning programs. These innovative programs, such as Accelerated Reader and MathFacts in a Flash, deliver personalized assessments, interactive quizzes, and engaging activities that nurture student growth and success. Together, we can kindle a passion for lifelong learning.
The STAR Reading program acts as a guiding light, illuminating the unique reading path of each student. Through continuous assessments and the analysis of individual strengths and growth areas, we establish personalized reading goals and ranges to optimize student development. With tailored support, we inspire a love for reading, one STAR at a time.
Overall, our aim is to create a safe space within our library, allowing students to not only become great readers but also to evolve into their best selves.
Restricted Book Permission Form
By default, students are only allowed to read books within the interest levels outlined below. ONLY complete this form if you wish to give your child permission to read books outside of his/her designated interest level.
What is an Interest Level?
The interest level of a book is determined by its content—including theme, characterization, and plot—and indicates the age group for which the book is generally considered appropriate. These designations are set by the publisher and the professionals at Renaissance Learning.
Interest Level Categories:
LG (Lower Grades: K–3rd) ~ Comparable to a G-rated movie
MG (Middle Grades: 4th–8th) ~ Comparable to a PG-rated movie
MG+ (Middle Grades Plus: 6th and up) ~ Comparable to a PG-13 movie
UG (Upper Grades: 8th–12th) ~ Comparable to an R-rated movie
Please note: While these guidelines provide a framework, the final decision on whether a book is appropriate for a specific student rests with parents.
