The Media Center at
WES is the home to over 14,000 books and pieces of equipment. It supports and maintains the databases for the Accelerated Reader, STAR
Reading, and STAR Early Literacy computer programs in use at our school
site. Students are welcome to visit the Media Center from 7:30 - 11:40
and 12:10 - 2:00 for book check out and return.
First and second grade students may
check out one book and grades three and four may check out two books. No
student may check out a book who has a fine, unless they are paying
towards the lost book. All students must be responsible for the books
loaned to them and they are responsible for the replacement cost of
damaged or lost books. |
