GARDINER Middle SchooL LIBRARY
Welcome to the Gardiner Active Learning Center
The Active Learning Center is a place for students to check out books, get research help, get tech assistance, and have a quiet place to read or study during recess. The ALC is also utilized by teachers and specialists throughout the day, using the classroom space, the club room, and the project labs.
Mr. Pass is available throughout the day to assist with books, research questions, and daily computer loaners.
Mrs. Carscallen is available until 3:30 p.m. for any state testing or school-issued Chromebook questions.
Students are encouraged to get a pass to use the ALC during lunch/recess for reading, checking out books, or working on class assignments.
