                          August, 2008

To our Tuckahoe Parents,

Thank you for supporting our library programs. 

A big welcome to the new class of 6th graders.  Meeting all of your children 
in June was such a treat. How quickly and thoughtfully each of them signed 
up for the Summer Reading Book Club. They are ready for Middle School.

A big welcome to our high school freshman class.  What's different for them?
We'll be building on their research skills, exploring more advanced 
resources, digging deeper, asking more questions and getting them ready for 
the scholastic challenges ahead.  We have state of art labs and resources. 
We are ready!  

***********
Summer book lists are available online.  Look for the "Smiling Sun" icon for 
Middle School and a "Beach Reader" icon for High School book lists.

Library Media Center Orientations begin in early September for 6th and 7th 
graders.

Several new electronic resources have been added over the 
summer.  Your student will be accessing 4 to 10 databases throughout the 
school year. Advanced research skills are introduced at every opportunity.

Projects and single-night reading assignments encourage exploration of 
print, electronic-books, audio/visual resources, specialized journals, and 
databases provided by the school district and the Tuckahoe School Foundation.

* * * * * 

Library staff is available 7:30 to 3:00 everyday.  Ongoing collaborations 
with the entire teaching staff throughout the school year keep us in sync 
with assignments and needed resources.  Our collection is always being 
replenished to meet those classroom goals.

Extended hours are available by appointment any day. Students are encouraged 
to stop in anytime for assistance/guidance with print and electronic 
resources as assignments progress.  A Microsoft Publishing Software 
specialist is also available.
