The Accelerated Reading program continues to be very strong, and many students are earning points daily. In the spring of 2002, the LACE organization provided funds for the purchase of the STAR Reading program. The students grades 1-7 have tested to find their individual reading level. The classroom reading teachers sent home this report and explained to the students what reading level range the books they choose to read for AR needs to be for each student. Each student has a reading grade level range to choose books from the CA library, public library, home library, classroom library or book stores. It is important that each student stay within their range to be successful when testing on the books with the AR program at school

General Information

The CA Library Media Centers provide materials and resources to support the curriculum. Our goal is that students will become independent library users and life long learners with a love of reading. The Lower School centers around students developing a love of reading and learning the organization of libraries. The Upper School continues encouraging the love of reading and helps to develop research skills.

		Please return damaged books to the library for repair. Accidents can and do happen, we understand. Books damaged beyond repair must be replaced. A bill will be sent home listing the replacement cost. Remember library books have a higher cost because of cover treatments and book processing costs. All replacement books must be ordered by the librarians. Should a page accidentally rip, please return it to the library and we will repair the page with special tape.
