Library Books

Your child will also be bringing home books from our Glen Oaks library a few weeks into the school year. We encourage students to keep library books in their backpacks all week. When your child takes library books out to read at home, remind your child to put them back into his/her backpack. In order to keep library books from being damaged, please keep library books and water bottles (or other leaky items) in separate areas in your child’s backpack. If library books are lost or damaged, contact your child’s teacher or our school librarian for the amount due.

Our class visits the library (also called The Learning Commons) once a week, at which time students will turn in their books and check out new ones. Kindergarteners are not expected to choose library books on their reading levels but are encouraged to find books that interest them. Therefore, your child will likely need support with reading library books at home. Reading library books with your child CAN count toward the 20 minutes of nightly homework. However, once leveled books begin coming home, it is expected that your child read the leveled books each night Monday-Thursday.
