Welcome to the Library
Kirstin Pulioff, DTL
I am thrilled to the Digital Teacher Librarian (DTL) at West Jeff Elementary. I was born and raised in Southern California. I went to Oregon State University and got my degree in Forest Management. We moved to Colorado ten years ago, and I began my journey into the education field. I earned my Masters in Education from Western Governors University and Library Endorsement through CU Denver.
I taught 2nd & 3rd grade in Jeffco for five years before transitioning into the DTL role. I love getting to work with ALL students and find ways to inspire students to read and expand their technology knowledge.
Library Schedule
This year we have a two-week rotation for library classes. One week students will have library classes with a focus on literacy, technology, and STEM. The next week, students will be able to check out books with their classroom teacher.

Student Data Protection
Excellence in education requires that technology is seamlessly integrated throughout the educational curricula. Increasing access to technology enriches the curriculum and empowers students to maximize their full potential.
Students are a part of a 1:1 Chromebook environment where Chromebooks are available for each student to use in the classroom.
Digital tools are used to supplement instruction and enrich learning. When evaluating tools for classroom use, student data privacy is a prime concern. West Jeff Elementary follows the Student and Data Privacy guidelines put forth by the Jefferson County School Board and the Colorado Department of Education.
The Data Privacy & Security page on the district website describes safeguards taken by Jeffco Schools to support data security operations
You can view the Jeffco Digital Tools Page for ALL vetted tools/sites.
