IMS provides taping of all Instructional Television programming available through our PBS affiliates, WVPT in Harrisonburg and WCVE in Richmond. Titles of programs are identified on the station websites with descriptions and correlations to the SOL. Teachers receive a monthly ITV newsletter and have access to study guides from the building media center. Teachers may request taped programs via email to IMS.
