Electronic Resources

The Sea to Sky School District has purchased several amazing resources for our students to use when doing research both at school and at home.  Our students can now access several Electronic Resources. If you are accessing from the school, no password is required.  If you need our password to access the databases from home, see Ms. Benes.

Pemberton Public Library

Reminder to all of the amazing resource that is our Pemberton Public Library! We encourage all students and families to check out their terrific selection of eBooks, eAudiobooks, magazines and Tumblebooks! For most of these, but not all, you need a library card which requires a parent/guardian to email or call the library to get a card number. Ms. Benes strongly encourages all Signal Hill students to have their own card at the Pemberton Public Library!
