Library Media Procedures
Checkout procedure: Students in first, second, third, and fourth grade check out 2 books per week. Students in kindergarten and preschool check out one book per week.
If students forget their books on their library day, they can return their books on the following school day and check out new books at that time. Additional books may be checked out by students to use in their classrooms as part of project or research work.
Lost or Damaged books: Students who lose or damage library books or materials will be billed so those items may be replaced.
Class Schedules: Students K-4 have one 45 minute library class each week. The library classes will occasionally meet in the computer lab so students can learn digital literacy and research skills.
Expectations for Behavior: Students have agreed upon the following expectations for behavior in order to create an optimal learning environment in the library:
1) Listen to and respect the speaker.
2) Raise a quiet hand.
3) Use an inside voice.
4) Treat books with care and respect.
5) Be safe.
