Overdue Policies

It is the responsibility of all students to take care of and promptly return the materials they borrow from the library.  The following consequences are in place to encourage the prompt return of library materials.

• 1st week overdue = student receives overdue notice through their student email

• 2nd week overdue = second notice sent to student and student summonsed to the library, added to the LOP list

• 3rd week overdue = third notice e-mailed to parents with replacement cost for book

• 4th week overdue = student is referred to the administration for detention until the book is returned or replaced

 Students at La Mesa receive a set of textbooks to keep at home for the school year.  Record all textbook damage on the online textbook card (link below).  You are responsible for any loss or damage not documented at checkout.  Fines will be assessed when the books are collected.   All textbooks should be kept covered.  Do not use adhesive covers of any kind.  They damage the texts.

English, History, and Math textbooks have an online edition.  Students should ask their teacher for log-in information.
