Dear Students, Parents, and Friends:

Welcome to the 2022-23 School Year! I am delighted to be returning to Mackay Elementary School as the School Library Media Specialist.

Our library program is designed to support and enhance curriculum across all grade levels. Library lessons focus on: library etiquette, exposure to high quality children's literature, digital citizenship, technology tools, STEAM activities, coding, research skills, and more! This year, I will be seeing each class for additional lessons on coding throughout the year. Beyond the lessons, my role is to grow and support an inclusive community that loves reading and learning. Students are assessed on the same 1-4 grading scale as other specials at the elementary level.

With Excitement,

Ms. Allison Pichowicz
