Students are expected to take care of each textbook loaned to them. Texts are issued, one per student, in each class as needed. Schoolbooks are loaned only to enrolled students and school faculty and staff. Covers are required at all times, even on novels. No tape or anything sticky (such as contact paper-typed covers) is permitted to touch the book on the outside or the inside.
Lost texts must be paid for at the current replacement cost before another copy will be loaned. Students should report any damage to or loss of their textbooks immediately to the school Library Media Center. This will allow us to determine the fine or cost if there is one. This includes any text which has been damaged in the school locker during a rain storm. Due to processing costs, refunds for found texts will be only one-half of payment for lost texts. No refunds are begun after June 1st for each school year.
Fines for major wear and tear on texts will be assessed and collected prior to the last week of school. All texts are to be accounted for or paid for before the last week of school. Students who have not paid for damaged or lost texts by that time will be placed on a school debt list. Students will not be allowed to take final exams or receive report cards until all debts are cleared.
