Engage, Inspire, Empower

Our goal is to support the success of our students, to promote a life-long enjoyment of reading, and to provide knowledge building experiences with 24/7 access to information in a welcoming environment that is conducive to learning.

We  strive to achieve this goal through attention to Equity, Well Being and Achievement.

The Your Connected Life guide is designed to help students balance the demands of their offline life with their digital one. The guide offers practical advice on a variety of activities kids like to do online, including social networking, shopping, gaming, school work and watching videos.
