Before and After School

Students must have written permission in order to come to the Library after school. Permission slips were given out at the beginning of the school year. If you need one, see the librarian. One permission slip or note can give a student permission to come to the library outside of school hours for the entire school year. Students may get a pass to come to the library in the morning. 15 passes are available. Students who have a pass from a teacher will also be allowed to come to the library in the morning.

Check Out Times

All Language Arts teachers have a scheduled time to come to the Library. Classes come every other week. Students can check out and/or return books at this time. Books are checked out for two weeks.  We do not charge fines for overdue books, but we do want the books returned! Students whose books are overdue at the end of each grading period will have their names sent to the dean. Students who lose their books can either pay for the book or bring us a replacement from home. We encourage students who can't find a book to come and talk to us: we want to clear a student's record and will work with the student to find a solution.

Students may check out up to5 items at a time, either books or magazines. If a student has overdue books, they may be limited to just one checkout at a time. Students and teachers are encouraged to come in and check us out!
