OVERDUE BOOKS

1-2 weeks overdue – reminder notice given to student

3-4 weeks overdue – notice mailed home to the family

Students are suspended from borrowing until overdue books are returned (or they are paid for if the book(s)/items cannot be found)

 

DAMAGED AND LOST BOOKS

Accidents happen! Most children are responsible, and if a book accidentally becomes damaged, we stress the responsibility to report and replace the damaged book. A notice will be sent home with your child to inform you of the replacement cost.  Most of our books are library bound, and not the trade editions you see sold in bookstores.  Students with damaged/lost book fees may not check out additional books until the fees are paid.

Proper care of library materials is stressed in all grades.  Please help your child designate a safe place at home, like a shelf, to store library books.
