MCMS media center pays a yearly Student Access Fee that allows our students access to over 40,000 RC tests.The above link connects to the Scholastic Reading Counts e-catalog, searchable by title and author,which gives lexile and test point value information.
The Mossy Creek Middle School Media Center Program is an integral part of the school's total instructional program. Our philosophy is built around three main beliefs. First, we believe that our students need instruction in information literacy skills so that they can efficiently access, use, and communicate the ever-increasing information available in our world today. Second, we believe that, because students who like to read will read, it is important to help students develop a love of reading. Third, we believe that the media center collection should support the curriculum and instructional program of the school.
