Arrival/Dismissal |
St. Matthew School Library Welcome to all St. Matthew students and families as we begin the new school year. The schedule for classroom library times is posted below. Library books at our school number over 10,000
volumes, including fiction, non-fiction, and general reference materials. Students in
grades one through five have a regularly scheduled weekly library period. Sixth, seventh,
and eighth grade students have access to the library at any time during regular school
hours, at their teachers' discretion. Kindergarten students come to the school library
once a week for story time. Parents, as the school year gets underway, remind your children that thousands of books are available in the school library to use for research projects and book reports, as well as for reading for pleasure. The library shelves are filled with mysteries, sports stories, award winners, biographies, lives of the saints, and many of the titles that are on classroom reading lists. A visit to the St. Matthew School library provides students with the perfect opportunity to choose books based on their reading level and interest, and just might save you a last-minute dash to borrow or buy a book elsewhere!
