Jones Lane

Media Center 

Vision

The vision of the JLES media center staff is to be pro-active in instruction, technology, and our interactions with all students and staff at JLES.

Mission

Our mission is to provide all students and staff access to a variety of ideas, information, cultivate independent and effective use of information and encourage life-long reading and learning habits.

Instruction

The Media Center provides instruction, support, and materials for students and staff. The Media program, as an extension of the classroom, encourages lifelong learning and the independent use of information resources. The Jones Lane Media Center features an automated circulation system, a networked Research and Learning Hub, and a Computer Lab that provides students and staff with access to the Internet and other resources. 

The Media Center is open from 7:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. each day. Kindergarten and first grade visits the media center weekly. In addition, students can check out new books throughout the day. All students may check out books according to the following guidelines: kindergarteners and 1st graders check out one book, 2nd graders check out 2 books, third, fourth, and fifth graders check out 3 items including magazines. Each loan period is two weeks. Please encourage your child to check out books as many as possible.  The more your child read, the better reader your child will be.

In addition to media center regular and research classes, we also broadcast live Dayline TV shows on every Monday and Friday. There are 36 fifth grade students participate this fun activity. They rotate jobs and learn how to create TV production.
