MEDIA CENTER BOOKS: 
Students are responsible for the books that are borrowed from the media center. If a book is damaged beyond repair, the student is expected 
to notify the media specialist that the book is damaged. The student/parent will pay the replacement cost of the damaged book.
If a book is lost (overdue approximately six weeks), the parents will be notified by letter that the book(s) is missing. The student/parent is 
responsible for the replacement cost of any lost book. Once a student is notified that he/she has a lost book and is responsible for 
payment, the student is not allowed to check out books. When the book is paid for or returned, the student may resume borrowing books.
If a lost book is found after it has been paid for, the student/parent will be reimbursed. 
MEDICINES/HEALTH 
Parents must let the school office know about changes in phone numbers, addresses, places of employment, or temporary situations 
which may affect the school’s ability to contact the parent in emergencies. 
If your child develops any health related issues throughout the school year, please keep the nurse updated. 
Physician orders, including any restrictions, are required by the nurse on the student’s first day back for the following: 
a. Returning to school after surgery or hospitalization

nutrition, hydration, and good hand hygiene.
