    • Kindergarten & 1st Grade - 1 book
    • 2nd, 3rd, & 4th Grades - 2 books

    Digital Students

    Digital students are still an integral part of our school. Each student learning digitally has the opportunity to check out books by placing them on hold. These books will be checked out to the student and may be picked up at the front desk. Books may then be returned to the book cart located just outside of the front doors.

  • Destiny Discover

    Destiny is our online catalog for media center materials. Students are able to determine our book selection and if the books are on-site for checkouts.
