Library

​Librarian’s name: Open Position

The library is open from 9am-2pm for our students and scheduled classes.

Parents are allowed to check out books from 2-2:30pm every day except for Fridays. Parents can fill out a form and check out up to 3 books for a one week period.

We do have the Accelerated Reading Program (A.R.) available to our students.

Accelerated Reader is a computerized reading management program. It is a unique system for motivating children to read and for tracking achievement. Students select and read books of their choice and take computerized tests when they finish reading. Books and tests available at Winchell Elementary range in reading level from emergent readers to 7th grade level. The program keeps track of all the tests taken and points earned for each participating student. The multiple choice tests are made up of 5, 10, or 20 comprehension and recall questions. After completing the test, the student is shown how many questions were answered correctly. The program shows the answers for the questions missed and awards reading points to the student’s record.

Lost/Damage Book(s)

If a book is lost or damage the parent(s) of the student will be responsible for the book and will have to pay the purchase price for the book. Until the book is paid for, the student will not be allowed to check out another book.

Checkout Policy

Depending on the grade level our students are allowed to check out the maximum of 2 books (at a time.)

If they are in PS-1^st grade, they are only allowed to check out 1 book at a time once a week.
