Media Center

Welcome to the KES Media Center

We hope that the Media Center will serve as the hub of KES by leading the way in innovations, inquiry-based learning practices, and the elevation and promotion of the overall school environment. The Media Center provides all students with equitable access to technology, a place for research and collaboration, and space to explore and expand their reading lives. Our goal is to prepare our students for the technology-and-information-rich world that they live in, helping them to become better learners, more efficient processors of information, responsible digital citizens, and lifelong readers.

Digital Citizenship
Kingsland Elementary School’s digital citizenship vision is that all students in grades 1, 2, and 3 will become responsible digital citizens by participating in the Common Sense Digital Citizenship program. Our goal is to equip our students with the skills and information necessary to become responsible, productive, respectful, and safe users of technology. Utilizing the lessons created by Common Sense Media our students have been learning how to safely navigate the internet and how to properly take care of their equipment. These lessons were taught over a six week period and as a culminating activity the students created alphabet books which were presented to the pre-k and kindergarten classes and will become part of their classroom library.

Please visit the site below for more information on how you can help your students continue to develop into informed digital citizens.
