Library Procedures

You can search our catalog even if you aren't in school! Just go to olgcnj.follettdestiny.com. Please email with any questions.

Students can check out books each week. The lower grades may check out one book, grades 5 and up may take out two at a time. Books are checked out for a one week period.

Students will be allowed to take library books home this year.

If a child forgets their book at home, they may not check out another until the previous one is returned. If a book is lost please let me know. I will let you know the cost for replacement.

If I feel a book if too mature for a student based on their grade, I will email you to ask permission for your child to check out that title.

Students in the upper grades will be reading novels during library class. They may have either a hard copy of the book or they may have it on a device. If they choose to use a device it must be charged and ready to be used for class. Points are deducted from their ILA grade if they are not prepared.

Cell phone policy

Parents, please review the Cell Phone/Text Messaging/Telephone/ and Internet Correspondence Policy with your children:

Cell Phones/Text Messaging/Telephone/Internet Correspondence

Students are permitted to have a cell phone at school but the cell phone must be turned off and kept in the book bag at all times while at school. Text messaging is never allowed. Violators will have their phones taken and only his or her parent must reclaim the cell phone in the school office. Utilizing any other form of communication, other then the nurse or main office, is strictly prohibited and will result in an immediate detention.

The school telephone is for office use only. Students may use the phone only in the case of an emergency with the Principal's permission. Permission WILL NOT be given to students to call home for forgotten supplies or to communicate social plans. Please do not request that a child phone home during or after school for any reason. If it is necessary to communicate a message, the parents are expected to phone the school. The message will then be forwarded to the student. During the school day, students or teachers may not come to the phone to receive messages.
