The Media Center offers a variety of materials for children to use during school hours. Students may check out books from the media center for one week at a time. They may also check out certain reference books on an overnight basis. There are no fines charged for overdue books; however, a student with an overdue book is not allowed to check out another book until the overdue book is returned. Students who are repeatedly late returning their books may lose the privilege of checking out books.

Lost books must be paid for in full, and damaged books paid for in proportion to the damage as assessed by the librarian. All payments must be made before another book can be checked out. Money will be refunded if a lost book that has been paid for is found. All books must be returned and/or paid for before Winter Break and/or the last week of school so that inventories can be completed. If you are moving, all library books must be returned so the student’s record can be cleared.

Students frequently lose valuable articles of clothing at school. This loss can be reduced if every article of apparel that can be removed is clearly marked with the student’s name. This should be done at every grade level. Lost-and-found lockers are located at the north end of the first floor hallway (near the kindergarten classrooms). Please come into the school periodically and look for missing items.
