Frequently Asked Questions
How does Accelerated Reader work at each of the buildings?
OES: Each teacher decides how many tests students are required to pass for the quarter and also decide if they want the student to read fiction, nonfiction, or biography. Students can take more tests than the teacher has required. Not all books are AR books. The level the student is reading at is determined by the MAP Lexile Scores and the Accelerated Reader grade level identification. Students pick out books that are interesting to them. OES has over 1500 books that have Accelerated Reader Quizes to go with them on all genre and reading level.
FES: The 2nd grade students will begin at the beginning of October. This gives the library aide time to move students in the AR program from first to second grade and under the proper teacher's name. Most second grade students have taken tests in first grade, but a general review is always done before the students can take tests independently.
FES: The first grade students are started after the first parent/teacher conferences. This gives teachers time to understand the student's reading capabilities. Not all first grade students start at the same time. What determines who starts in first grade are parent requests, if the student started AR in kindergarten and teacher recommendation. Individual testing is used until the student is ready to be independent.
FES: Kindergarten students are started after Thanksgiving by parent request or teacher request. The student needs to be able to read the book independently and also, with minimal help, read the questions on the quiz. An adult is always with the student to help them as they take the quiz. Kindergarten students are added throughout the year by teacher request. The teacher can also ask the child to be removed from AR if they discover it is too difficult for them.
How long can a child keep a book checked out from the LMC?
A child can keep a book checked out from the LMC for two weeks and can renew it as many times as necessary unless there is a waiting list for the book.
How many books can a child check out at one time?
The usual limit is 2 unless the student is working on a research project.
How does the LMC deal with overdue books?
There is no fines for overdue books, however the student may not check out another book until the overdue book is returned.
What happens if a book is lost or damaged beyond repair?
The child is responsible to pay for the book or replace the book with one of the same title and in good condition. The LMC would much prefer the book over the money. If the book is found within a 6 week period or over the summer, the money is returned.
How often can a child come to the LMC?
Each classroom has one or two designated times for book check out, but usually the teacher can also send the student down other than those times.
Does the elementary library take book donations?
Each library takes book donations of books that are in excellent condition and do not have any identifying markings indicating it was a book owned by someone else.
