Media Center Information

Mrs. Kieval, Media Specialist, and the Media Assistant, welcome you to CCES's media center. We hope that you will come to the media center to look for books, search for information for a class project or for a subject that interests you.  The media center is open on school days from 8:45 AM - 3:00 PM.

Our media center collection includes over 8,000 print and non-print materials. Students are permitted to borrow 2 to 3 books at a time. Most books are checked out for a 2-week period. Additional books can be borrowed for special classroom research projects or book reports.

Students are responsible for materials that they use and check out. Students are required to pay for any lost or damaged materials. Overdue notices are sent home, via US Mail, at the end of each nine week marking period to students who have not returned books.

There is a flexible schedule for classes coming to the media center. Grade level teams plan with the media specialist so that classes will have sufficient time to research assigned classroom projects. Students are welcome to use the media center during the school day with permission of Mrs. Kieval . However, during the scheduled recess times, students must have a pass to come into the center.

The Research Learning Hub is the center of our research program. Each of the 29 networked Dell computers in the media center is networked to the web and to the many resources available to all students at Chevy Chase.

Chevy Chase staff works together to develop an extensive list of grade appropriate Internet resources for each grade level to use to support specific projects. Additionally, Montgomery County Public Schools purchases online subscription services to support our curriculum. Click here to see the entire list of these resources.

We are always looking for new books, computer programs, videos, and magazines to enhance our collection. Suggestions are always welcome.
