Welcome, students!
Even on days when you're not in the classroom, your learning journey doesn't stop! Your school Media Center is here to support you, whether you're at school or at home. Here's how:
Keep Reading! On days when you're learning asynchronously (that's a fancy word for working on your own), we encourage you to dive into the wonderful world of books. Your school library has a fantastic collection of digital materials that you can access anytime, anywhere. From eBooks to audiobooks, there's something for everyone.
Explore the Destiny Library Catalog: Looking for your next great read? The Destiny Library Catalog is your go-to destination! You can search for books, eBooks, audiobooks, and other resources right from your computer or device. Just click the link on the media center webpage or your school-wide Canvas course to start exploring.
Access Online Services: Need some extra help with research or homework? No problem! You can access online services from the comfort of your own home. Whether it's databases, educational websites, or study tools, we've got you covered. Just visit the media center webpage or your school-wide Canvas course to find out how to access these resources.
Get Home Use Passwords: Some online services may require a password for home use. Don't worry, we've got you covered there too! You can find home use passwords on the media center webpage or your school-wide Canvas course. Just look for the information you need and you'll be ready to go.
Your Media Center is here to help you succeed, no matter where your learning takes place. So keep reading, keep exploring, and keep learning!
Happy reading!

*SAFETY FIRST!*
Do NOT look directly at the sun! Schools that elect to take students out during the eclipse must make sure students do not look at the sun. See the activities below for ways to experience the eclipse safely and see NASA’s website for information on eclipse safety for more information on how to safely view a solar eclipse.
Tuesday April 9th
Transitioning to virtual learning is considered when the impacting event is predictable, part of a multi-day scenario such as a blizzard, or when prior communication with families, students and staff can take place. The decision to offer virtual learning will be announced by noon the day prior. Messages from schools will remind families that it is a required school day and how to log in to classes. In order to allow time for students and staff to adjust, log in and access resources on an inclement weather virtual learning day, all instruction will begin two hours later than the school's normal bell schedule. There will be a minimum of four hours of synchronous instruction. Attendance will be taken. Students who are unable to connect will receive an excused absence, and given an opportunity to make up work.
