Library, Art, Computer, and Spanish

 

Library

The library at St. Charles School has a collection of over 10,000 books and serves students in grades kindergarten through eighth grade. In library class, students will engage in a variety of activities designed to foster a love of reading. Students have the opportunity to explore genres, authors, book-related games, and activities, as well as check out books each week. Our junior high students will also look at available research resources and have the opportunity to join our junior high book club, Cover to Cover. St. Charles Library partners with Dayton Metro Library and welcomes presentations from both their Children’s Librarian and their Teen Librarian. The St. Charles School library was completely renovated in the summer of 2008 by our PTO and then updated in the summer of 2023. The library hosts two Scholastic Book Fairs each year. Profits from the book fairs are used to buy new books and allow us to further update our space and resources.

Computers

All students at St. Charles have a computer class once a week as part of their special schedule, as well as integrated technology use in their regular classrooms. All grades are taught keyboarding, coding, online safety, proper use of technology, and other lessons through age-appropriate programs and activities. We are growing in our use of robotics and drones along with our coding programs. 

St. Charles uses a Google-based learning system to support our students’ education. This includes one 28-seat computer lab, Chromebooks that are carried and used by all of our students grade 5-8, and Chromebooks in 12 carts for grades 1-4.  St Charles School is proud to be a 1 to 1 school for our grades 1-8. Kindergarten classrooms share a class set of Chromebooks that are available for their use.
