Media Center Mission Statement:
The mission of the media staff of C.A. Erwin Middle is to ensure that students and staff are effective users of ideas and information. We strive to meet this goal by collaborating with staff and linking students’ information needs.
Our school’s full-time media coordinator and full-time media assistant are available to assist students with selecting and using the materials they need. Our books are arranged by genre just as today's bookstores, video, and music stores. This is done to allow students to browse or locate books as they are familiar with in real-world "shopping".
Book Information
Students are responsible for materials checked out in their name.
Students may check out up to three books for up to three weeks at a time. Books may be renewed if more time is needed.
Students must pay for lost or damaged books.
Maker Space Activities:
VR headsets can be used by classroom teachers to enhance curriculum.
Board games, art, and puzzles are always available.
The Media and Technology Advisory Committee (MTAC) has long been an assumed component in the selection of materials in North Carolina’s public schools since most school system board policies require such a committee. However, the responsibilities of this committee should not be limited to resource selection.
MTAC's Role:
serve to strengthen the media and technology program and in turn, strengthen the total instructional program in the school;
promote positive relationships among media and technology personnel, teachers, students, and administrators
serve as a line of communication between the school and the community;
and assist in maintaining a balanced collection of resources and equipment.
Active involvement of the MTAC in the media and technology program leads to better awareness, understanding, support, and commitment.
