About

NRCSD:  Inspiring students to live, learn & lead

The mission of North Rockland High School Library Media Center in partnership with the school and the surrounding community, is to build our students’ sense of belonging, engagement and achievement, while facilitating their transformation into literate, critical thinkers who are respectful and responsible young adults.

The goal of the North Rockland High School Library Media Center program is to help students foster our mission statement. Our objective is to build upon the student’s skills and knowledge to increase their independence in being able to find resources, whether fiction or non-fiction, digital or print, and to recognize when they need assistance.

In collaboration with the classroom teachers, we hope to develop a life-long interest and desire for inquiry and reading.  At NRHS LMC, we are a community of learners who work both independently and collaboratively.

Using Online Information Sources

So much information is available to students today. It is an extraordinary challenge for our students to learn how to discern appropriate and reliable information.  

Our approach at NRHS is geared toward specific projects. We encourage students to approach information with a critical eye, and as we guide them through the information seeking process of using different kinds of resources.  The importance of beginning a project with information from a reputable or authoritative source. Possible sources would be, for example, an encyclopedia or a book. Our staff encourages students to use our subscription databases, such as World Book Online, Grolier Online, Culturegrams, and the NOVEL databases.

All students who use computer technology are required to abide by the North Rockland Central School District's Acceptable Use Policy in order for us to provide a safe learning environment for everyo.en
