After one renewal, books must then be returned. Additional books may not be checked out if a student already has an overdue book. Parents may also check out media materials. Please call if you have questions about items your child has checked out.

Media Classroom
All students become familiar with quality literary works, types of literature, literary genres, authors and illustrators, reference/research resources, and arrangement and location of media materials. In the 21st century these traditional skills are expressed by the transfer of information, collabortive as well as individualized learning; and active participation of all members of the class. Students and teachers participate in multimedia and Web 2 tecnologies with classroom blogs, the IPS Wiki, classroom web pages, and publication of student work in a multimedia context.
