Welcome to our Media Center's Webpage! 

This year our Tigers are going to...

for our School-Wide Reading Incentive as we are on a #learningjourney!

 

I look forward to seeing our Tigers in our Starbooks Cafe this year! I have created an inviting and motivating space! I know you will love to come spend time in the cafe while reading, researching, and participating in 21st century  media lessons here at PES. 

 

MAKERSPACE will continue this year at PES in the Starbooks Cafe. Students will have the opportunity to visit the cafe and participate in various STEM challenges. These challenges will rotate and change weekly so that students have a variety of engaging, hands-on activites.

School-wide Reading Incentive Program:

 

 *Click here to access our school library catalog Destiny. 

Note: This link will let you know the books that our school owns and has on the book shelves.

*Click here to access the AR Book Guide .

Note: This link will help you determine if a book that your child is reading has an AR quiz.

*Click here to see the Lexile level of a book your child is reading Lexile Levels .

 

This year's AR program our students are "Reading Around the World"! Each student has an individualized reading goal they are shooting to meet with an 80% accuracy rate.  Students who meet their monthly AR goals will be awarded monthly with a prize. The chart below explains the point goals for each grade level. The points were developed based off their Lexile and minimum of 20 minutes of reading each night.  Ask your student or your student's teacher what Reading Level your student is on.
