Library
Welcome to the Wolves' Den
SFA features an open-access media center that serves all students with a collection of over 7,437 books. The library is located near our kindergarten classrooms. Grades 2K-5th have a scheduled weekly library class period. Grades 6-8 can come to the library with their teacher or on their breaks to check out books or browse.
Grades 1-5 take part in the Accelerated Reader program in order to improve students' reading comprehension skills. An equally important goal is our desire to kindle a lifelong love for reading. Research overwhelmingly shows that students only become better readers by actually engaging in independent reading.
Each January, SFA host a spring Scholastic Book Fair. This is the Library's one fundraiser. Proceeds typically enable us to add 100 or more books to our collection.
Library Policies--
Students in 3K-5th grade are allowed to keep their book(s) for seven days. Students in 6-8th grade are allowed to keep their books for 2 weeks. No overdue fines are charged. However, for books that are lost or damaged, the charge is the price of a replacement book. Report cards are withheld for students failing to take responsibility for lost or damaged books at the end of the year.
