How is library different this year?
- For starters, Ms. Wiz is coming in, following the retirement of Ms. Sharon Hayes. (She will be volunteering in the afterschool program, so you’ll see her around!) Here is a

picture of Ms. Wiz’s face without her mask on.
- Students will not come inside SA library for the regular scheduled library slots. We do have one class taught in that space. We are working on a way to safely bring library to different pods in the classrooms though, so stay tuned! Books will begin arriving home in early October.
- Ms. Wiz will teach Tech Integration this fall, which is part of her expertise. Learners will explore how to use them safely, and for academic needs, and how to become smart global citizens while protecting their privacy and their rights when exploring online.
- Students will learn how to search for and put ‘Holds’ on their own library books, so they can eventually check books out and browse fully online using our catalog, Destiny.
