ELEMENTARY CURRICULUM & PROGRAM OF STUDIES

North Allegheny Libraries are essential for preparing all students for success in a changing world. Our libraries provide a unique, welcoming, supportive, interdisciplinary learning environment where students, staff, and school community are invited to read widely, think critically, create and share new ideas, and grow as dynamic, respectful, and digitally literate citizens.

At the elementary level, students K-5 have a regularly scheduled weekly class. Report card grades are given at each semester for grades 1-5. Additional collaborative library lessons delivered in conjunction with classroom teachers are encouraged whenever possible, as the application of information and technology skills in all areas of study allows for continuity of lesson delivery. Book exchanges, story times, discussion groups, reading incentive programs, author visits, and other reading activities support the development of student literacy.
