not part of a set may be checked out for overnight use. They
are due before first period of the following day. You must have
your student I.D. to check out materials. Do not check out a
book for another student because you are then responsible for
that material. Removing materials from the library without having
checked them out is considered theft of school property.

per day exclusive of weekends and holidays. The maximum fine
is $5.00 per item. Fines for overdue reference books are $2.00
per day with no maximum. Payment for a lost book is based on
its replacement cost. If a book is subsequently found, a refund
will be made less the accumulated fine.
Damaged Books: Full replacement cost will be charged
for damaged books. The books will remain in library possession
until replacement can be made.
- Security System: The security system will sound an alarm
when books are taken without being checked out. Books taken from
the library without being checked out will be considered stolen
and the discipline applied will be in accordance with the Standards
of Student Conduct.

Technology & Acceptable Use

-
-
- Conferences with Teachers
- When parents feel it advisable to contact teachers personally,
they are asked to leave their telephone numbers with the receptionist
or on the teacher's voice mail in order that the teacher may
return the call later. In high school, teachers are provided
with a conference period, when they are not in class or assigned
other duties. This period is used for meetings, conferences of
various kinds, preparation of materials, and occasional make-up
tests for students, etc. Teachers appreciate a parent's telephoning
rather than requesting a conference if the matter can be satisfactorily
handled by telephone. Personal conferences are welcomed if the
telephone conversation has not proved adequate.
