Students & Parents

Please talk to your child about choosing a safe, dry place in your home to keep library books. A safe spot keep books from being accidentally damaged or lost. Students are required to pay to replace damaged and lost books, so it is important to keep them in a place safe from pets, younger siblings and food spills. A bookshelf or dresser may be a safe place; the kitchen counter or the floor is probably not.

 

Library books only go in a backpack after books are first put in a plastic bag. The plastic bag protects library books from everything else that is inside a backpack – pens, food, wet clothing, and leaking juice boxes. Please assist your child in finding a clean, dry plastic bag to put their library books in. A sturdy grocery bag will work well. Help your child get into the habit of FIRST placing all library books inside a clean, dry plastic bag and then putting them in the back pack to protect the library’s books and your wallet. A new, sturdy bag is available at the school library desk for 25 cents.

 

Book fairs are held twice a year in April and October. Look for more information in the April and October newsletters. Parents available to help with the book fair can contact Glenda at the library.
