CyberCenter Information

All students are welcome to use the Cybercenter from 8:00 a.m. - 2:34 p.m. only. Teachers may issue passes during their class period to allow students to complete an assignment. No food, drink, hats or gum is allowed.

The Satz CyberCenter houses over 9,000 books, videos, cassette tapes, DVD’s, CD's, and magazines. The loan period for most materials is two weeks. Reference materials are loaned overnight. All of the sources above are available from home also. If a password is required the User is satz and the password is satz except if the site requires a Monmouth County library card. A PC lab area is available for students’ use during CyberCenter hours with the understanding that students will abide by the district Acceptable Use Policy for the school network. Individuals found violating the rules will incur consequences.

In conjunction with Language Arts/Reading classes, students are encouraged to participate in the Accelerated Reader reading incentive program. The popular Accelerated Reader program involves three simple steps: a student selects and reads a book, the student takes an Accelerated Reader Reading Practice quiz on the computer, and the computer adds the points earned to its database and generates a report for the student and teacher.
