Dear E. J. Sand Families,
Welcome to a new school year! My name is Angie Braiantsis
and I am E. J. Sand’s Teacher-Librarian. I am thrilled to have the
opportunity to work with your children and support their learning
journey through the library. I wanted to provide you with some
information about our library learning commons as we commence a
new school year.
About the Library Program
Our school library is a vibrant space where students can explore a
wide range of books, access various learning resources, and develop
essential research skills. This year, we have an exciting lineup of
activities and programs designed to foster a love for reading and to
enhance critical thinking.
What to Expect
• Book Checkouts: Students will have regular opportunities to
check out books that align with their interests and reading
levels. Encouraging reading at home is crucial, and we welcome
any discussions about book choices and reading habits.
• Library Lessons: I will be conducting lessons on information
literacy, digital citizenship, and research skills. These lessons
are designed to support the curriculum and help students
become confident and independent learners.
• Events and Programs: Stay tuned for more details, and please
feel free to get involved or volunteer!
How You Can Support
• Encourage Reading: Set aside time for reading at home and
discuss books with your child. Your interest in their reading can
make a significant impact.
• Visit the Library: I encourage you to visit the local library with
your child. It’s a great way to show your support for their
learning and to explore the resources available.
• Stay Connected: I will be sending out regular updates and
information about library activities. You can stay connected on
INSTAGRAM: EJSandLibraryLife.
Returning of Student Library Materials
I am kindly asking for families to return all school library books.
Please ensure that they are returned to your child’s homeroom
teacher as soon as possible. Your support with this is greatly
appreciated.
Thank you for your support and partnership. I look forward to a
fantastic year of reading, learning, and discovery with your child!
Thank you for your support and happy reading!
Most sincerely,
Your Teacher-Librarian,
Ms. Braiantsis
