Elementary Book Loan Policy

Library books are due in the student’s library class each rotation. If students are not done reading their books, they may keep them longer. Books are not considered overdue unless they have been out for more than 30 days.

Elementary Lost/Damaged Books Policy

There are currently no fees for lost or damaged books. However, considering books are expensive to replace, we expect students to care for the ones they have borrowed. If parents or guardians would like to replace a lost or damaged book, we will gladly accept either payment or a replacement copy. In the event that multiple books are lost or damaged, borrowing privileges may be suspended until payment or a replacement has been received.
