The River Oaks Elementary Library is constantly full of excitement and learning. As we transition into a digital society, our students need to learn more than ever before, and need to understand and be able to utilize the latest technology to help prepare them to interact with the global community.
The River Oaks Elementary Learning Commons
Welcome to the River Oaks Elementary Learning Commons (formally known as the Library Media Center). Today’s Learning Commons is designed to serve all members of the ROE community and is very different than the library you or I may have experienced in our schooldays. Students still visit the Learning Commons to gather reading and research materials, however, the environment and way our students use the library has changed in many ways. A Learning Commons is a place for experts and learners to come together to engage with information and create new understandings. The distinctive feature of the learning commons is that it’s a place where space can accommodate various learning programs from reading to hands-on activities, making use of current technologies to provide for better understanding of what is being learned.
Learning Commons Mission:
The mission of the River Oaks Elementary Learning Commons is to ensure that students and staff are effective evaluators, users and communicators of ideas and information, enabling them to be literate life-long learners.
