Kudos to the Jack Yates High School Maritime Academy

I enjoyed having you in the library today and yesterday! The best classes were 1st,2nd,4th,6th,and 8th periods. The "Excellent Citizenship Scholars" for Ms. Clary's classes is 6th period. Just ask any of there about a word on the library's word wall and you can be assured that the students can elaborate on any term. The 6th period class photo will appear here soon. Congratulations to the Maritime Academy for being the first classes to schedule and complete library orientation! Students, keep up the good work under the direction of Ms. Clary.

Welcome Back

I am excited about meeting new students and seeing everyone else! We are going to have a spectacular year!

Please visit the library often. Teacher orientation is scheduled for the first three weeks of school. Department chairs must schedule times to review procedures and learn about new resources and services our library provides.

When students visit the library before school, during lunch, and after school, the librarian or volunteer will pick them up from the cafeteria. During class time a teacher must sign the students agenda book AFTER the student has completed their "Assignment Information Sheet".

Do not forget that you must submit your HISD Millionaire Reading Log to your English/Reading teachers or librarian by September 7th.

You are going tohave a great year!
