Students are issued textbooks free of charge for use with school curriculum. Students are responsible for the care and upkeep of books they are issued. When a student loses a textbook, he/she is responsible for payment to replace the book. The student should report to the office when a textbook is lost. When the textbook is paid for, the student will receive a receipt and a new textbook. The receipt should be kept by the student for future use. The only way a student may be excused from responsibility for textbooks is if that student has a valid paid receipt. There are no waivers for lost book fees. Occasionally, unfortunate circumstances arise such as theft or unavoidable losses that cause a student to lose books. These excuses do not waive the student from responsibility for book payments. Lockers should be kept locked; combinations should be kept confidential; books should never be left unattended or loaned to others. Students are also responsible for damage to books. A damaged book will be considered lost. Full payment will be required. There is a replacement cost for all lost textbooks.
