Library

Students in grades 4-8 may take A.R. tests during their scheduled library time if no other class activity is scheduled by the librarian.

Any student may take A.R. tests after school during carline in the computer lab.  Students in grades K-3 must have a signed Afterschool A.R. permission form.  The permission form can be found on Renweb, or please click here:

Accelerated Reader Permission Form

The library is open from 7:45am until 4:00 pm every day.  Students visit the library with their classes at assigned times.  During the week and while the library is not in use by a class, students are allowed to visit the library to return and check out books with teacher/librarian permission.
 

Book Checkout

• Kindergarten and 1^st grade students may check out one book per week.
• Second grade students may check out 2 books per week.
• Third, Fourth and Fifth grade students may check out 3 books per week.
• Students in grades 6-8 may check out up to 4 books. Middle school students are provided a two-week loan period.

Students who are able to check out multiple books at a time are encouraged to use common sense when determining the number of books he or she is able to read at a time.

Overdue Books, Damaged Books and Fines

If a student has a book that is overdue by more than one week, the student will lose checkout privileges until the book is returned.  If a book is lost, student will lose checkout privileges until the payment is made for replacement.

If a book is returned in a damaged condition, librarian will assess damages to determine if repairs are able to be made.  A fee may be assessed if a book is returned in damaged condition (other than normal wear and tear) to cover cost of repair materials.  If book has irreparable damage, student will be required to pay cost of replacement.

Each book that is overdue by more than one week should be returned to the library along with a “fine” of one canned good per book for donation to St. Vincent de Paul.
