Road School Media Center operates from 8:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m.each
school day. It is open for the students before school, both recesses
and sometimes during lunch recess. There are two main sections of our
Media Center - The Library and the Performing Arts Center.
All classes are scheduled for one-half hour sessions each week with a storytime for students grade K-2 and library skills lessons for all grade 3 students. There are forty 5th and 6th grade trained library helpers who are scheduled to work for one-half hour a week in the library. The Speech and Language Specialist, Resource Program Specialist, and Physical Education Teacher have offices in the Media Center.
In the Performing Arts Center of the Media Center we have a large area which can be used for viewing the large screen TV for educational videos. Approximately 125 students can occupy the area for play practice, assemblies for grade levels, and for orchestral/instrumental music classes every Thursday. Also the All the Arts for All the Kids dance classes are held in the Performing Arts Center on some Mondays & Fridays. Evening play performances, PTA evening meetings, volunteer meetings, Boy Scout and Girl Scout meetings, staff meetings and community meetings are also held in this area. It is a very busy place!
Mrs. Eleanor Johnson, our Media Assistant keeps the schedule for all the events in the Media Center - often she has to juggle music classes, hearing testing, vision screening, class plays and many more events, not to mention that we have to use the Media Center during rainy days. Mrs. Johnson also hosts an Author of the Month program, which one student from each class reads their written stories, prose, or essays to each other and enjoy simple refreshments. Then Mrs. Johnson displays their work and picture in the library.
Some events scheduled for this year include: the sixth grade play, as well as Book Fairs in October and May. In January, the fourth graders performed at the evening PTA meeting. In March we have the Day of the Reader when members of the community come to our school to read to the students in all grade levels. In June there are many important events scheduled - Volunteer Tea, when the teachers & staff of Laguna Road honor our parent volunteers, DARE graduation for sixth graders and various promotional ceremonies celebrating the end of another school year.
