Students choose Young Adult books to
read
As a library, we encourage all students to read. We
try to have reading material that will appeal to all of our students.
What may be appropriate for a 7th grader may not be appropriate for a 9th grader
and vice versa. Be aware of what your student is reading. If you don't consider
it appropriate for your student, simply have your student return the material or
materials to the Media Center.
Microsoft Office Converter
If you have Microsoft Office 2003 or 2007 and you install
this converter on your computer, your student should be able to open the
document he or she saved at school in Microsoft Office 2010.
