Middle/High School Library Media Center
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.
