Wahoo Public Schools Media Literacy Purpose Statement
The media literacy curriculum empowers students to be creative and critical thinkers, responsible users, and competent producers of media and information. School librarians foster a community in which reading, writing, speaking, listening, and thinking serve as the foundation for learning for life.
District Media Mission Statement
The mission of the Wahoo Public Schools' Library Media Centers is to support and enhance the research, informational, reading, viewing, and instructional needs of the staff and students of the district.
The WPS Library Media Centers will provide user-friendly access to personal, academic, and professional information in a variety of formats, and provide active instruction on locating and using this information, with an emphasis on critical thinking to evaluate the validity and reliability of information accessed, especially Internet resources.
The Library Media Centers strive to be the intellectual center of our schools, linking the school community to an ever widening circle of literature, knowledge, and information.
