Library
Hello! Welcome to the Library Media Center. The library is open from 7:45 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. It will be 'check-out only' on No Move Mondays and every other Tuesday during Activity Period for Student Council meetings. The library will have an Open Library Night towards the end of each nine weeks. Open Library Night is a great opportunity to catch up homework, study for a test, collaborate in small groups, and work on essays and projects with some assistance. Dates and times for Open Library Night will be announced.

CSHS AR Program Procedures
*Each student will have an individual reading goal based on their reading ability, the time the school gives them to read, and their comprehension of the book (TOPS tests).
*Each student will work for the same goal both semesters.
*Goals are based on 3 aspects of AR:
1. Average Percent Correct goal: all TOPS quiz scores average 85% or better.
2. ZPD goal: all books read have an average level of the student’s lowest ZPD number.
3. Point goal: point totals are based on in-school reading time (20 minutes) allowed and grade equivalent reading level.
*SUCCESSFULLY meeting your 3 AR goals means:
1. Perfect AR grade in English class (grade based on percentage of goals met)
2. "R&R for AR" (free period during English class to play games, eat snacks, & relax in the library)
