Hello Families of Hidden Oaks Middle School!
I want to inform you that your child may come home with a
form from the media center for the Scott County Public Library System. I
encourage you to bring your child to the Prior Lake or Savage Library to get
their own card for a BIG reason! We are partnering with the Scott
County Library so that your child will be able to use all of the fantastic
features on their website. If your child is doing research, they are able
to get on the databases with their library card. This is important because
we do many research projects at school and if they bring their library card
they will have an easier time getting on the website and finding reliable and
valuable information. The other amazing feature that your child will be
able to use is an online tutoring system called HOMEWORK RESCUE.
They are online to help your child from 1pm to 11pm with any questions they
have on their homework-any subject! The tutors are certified teachers
from California on the other end. Please consider taking the time to
check out this great resource, it is simple to use and it will save you time if
your child can talk to a tutor online and help them through the problems.
They will never give your child the answer but help them through the
problem! There is also a writing lab on the Homework Rescue site where
your child can write a paper, and the online tutor for the writing lab will go
through and grade the paper and give recommendations for correcting within 24
hours. Hop on board with me in order to use this exciting tool. Any
questions please call or email Gina Zurn, Media Specialist at Hidden Oaks and
Twin Oaks Middle School or simply stop in to Prior Lake or Savage Public
Library. Thank you for your consideration!
