If you have received an email saying that you owe money for a lost textbook, library book or Chromebook, you must clear the fine before you can go through registration.
If you are registering at Arcadia High School, you must return the item to Dana or pay the fine at the Dana school office to get cleared. The high school library can't clear you.
The Dana school office will give you a clearance slip to show at AHS registration.
The Dana school office is only open Monday-Thursday before school starts. Plan ahead! If you are registering on a Friday at AHS, you can't clear the fine the same day. Please call 626-821-8361 to make sure someone will be in the office when you plan to come in.
At Dana Ports of Call, you will be sent to the library to clear the fine before you can start going through registration. You can save time by returning the item or paying the fine before registration day.
Don't ignore the fine just because you believe you returned the item. Ignoring the fine notice will not make it go away, even at the high school. You cannot graduate with a library fine on your record.
Only Mrs. Tarsala can waive a Dana library fine, so you have to talk to her. She will return to work on August 7th.
If you are a continuing Dana student, Mrs. Tarsala might let you wait to pay the fine until she has checked out textbooks in the fall or until she has double-checked the library shelves. She has to be convinced that it was her mistake before she will waive a fine.
Most of the time, Mrs. Tarsala hasn't made a mistake. The missing book is somewhere in your home and you just haven't found it yet. Please continue to look for it, because experience shows that missing books are usually misplaced at home and they will turn up again.
Mrs. Tarsala would rather have the textbook than your money.
Instead of paying the fine, you can order a used copy (in very good condition) off the Internet and give it to the school. This almost always costs less than the fine. Use the ISBN to make sure you order the right book.
