Learning

Welcome to Langdon School's Learning Commons or LC!

This is a place where students can access the resources they need to support their learning. Books, digital resources, computers, i-pads, VR technology, and more are all available to students and staff. If you have questions or need help finding a resource please contact Mrs. Tamara Kelly, the Learning Commons Facilitator. Contact by phone at 403-936-4579 or by email. For any computer and technology questions, please contact our School Computer Technician, Mrs. Mayette Schrauwen.

At Langdon, the Learning Commons is a busy place where students can sign out traditional books, read e-books, do research, access technology, go online to search the web or databases, create with Creation Station activities, or just to quietly read as they explore their interests. This page provides information about the Learning Commons and some of the services offered.

The LC is here to support the research and learning needs of students as well as to provide opportunities to develop a lifelong love of reading.  

 

 

Upon visiting the LC, students will become aware of the many genres of literature. Depending upon the grade level, students will enjoy storytelling session, and Learning Commons orientation, circulation and reading time.

Students use the LC to access a variety of resources and technology for them to finish their homework or for recreation. Students can choose to: read, check out books, make discoveries about the world around them or, just relax.

The Spine label tells two pieces of information.

  • F means Fiction or Chapter book
  • E means Easy or Picture Book
  • 355 or other numbers means Non-Fiction.
  • Every subject has it’s own number!
  • For example, dinosaurs are 567 and hockey is 796.

This is how we keep like books together on the shelves!

One of the concepts we emphasize in the library is respect for property. You can encourage your child to take care of his or her library books by:

  • Keeping library books in a safe spot in your home - please help designate one
  • Keeping food and drink away from library books
  • Turn pages with care
  • Keep pets away from books
  • Carry your library books in your book bag. Keep your books dry.

Lost or Damaged Book Policy

Students are responsible for the books they check out from Langdon School. If a book is lost, or damaged the parents will be responsible for paying the full replacement cost of the book. While we do not charge fines for late books, we do charge if a book is irreparably damaged or lost. To make a payment a invoice with be placed on SchoolCash net.

Lost books - If a lost book is found after the replacement cost has been paid, the student will be reimbursed the cost of the book after it has been returned to the library if it is in good condition and can be returned to circulation.

Damaged books - A book is considered damaged if it is returned to the library in a condition that requires extensive repair or is unable to be repaired and cannot be returned to circulation. Examples of damaged books include but are not limited to, water damage, mold, writing on the inside of the book, torn and or missing pages, and/or damaged to the outside of the book. Mrs. Bell the library technician will determine if the book can be repaired or not. If not, or if the repair work is extensive, the full replacement cost of the book will be charged to the student.
