Welcome to the RCAS elementary library page!
We hope that you will find the information here very helpful. Our site is currently under construction and always a work in progress. Changes were made on 11.25.19, check back for regular updates. We are building a 21st Century Library Curriculum for the elementary schools in Rapid City, South Dakota. This program is being developed by the elementary information media specialists who teach the K-5 library-media classes in the district. The majority of this site will be dedicated to sharing and building the curriculum for these classes. We are currently updating our library standards, so your patience is greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
