Usher Collier-Heights Elementary
Media Center
MEDIA CENTER SCHEDULE
Usher's library media center operates follows a flexible schedule.
All teachers are encouraged to sign their class up for collaboratively planned media center lessons (with an integration of any Common Core Georgia Performance Standard and the AASL Standards for the 21st-Century Learner), to empower our learners with informational literacy skills, on a weekly basis.
Whole classes, small groups, individual students, and parents are invited to visit the media center and checkout resources, as needed, as often as necessary during the open media center hours. Small groups and individual students must bring a completed MEDIA CENTER PASS, indicating the purpose of the student's visit to allow the media staff to help them.
