Textbooks

All basic textbooks are loaned to students for their use during the school year. Textbooks are to be kept clean and handled carefully. A textbook number will be assigned. Please be sure student name, grade, and school are written on the book label in case the book is misplaced. You will be required to pay for lost or damaged books and workbooks. Your teacher will check textbooks in December, March, and June. Unpaid book charges are recorded in a district database and will limit a child’s participation in extracurricular activities.
