Students are responsible for the books, equipment, and materials that they are issued. Students are responsible to make note of and to bring to the attention of the teacher any pre-existing damage to items. Students are required to place covers on all textbooks. Students will be held liable and charged for loss or damage to any school-issued item. An item that is stolen or misplaced will still be considered the responsibility of the student to which it was issued. For this reason, students are strongly discouraged from leaving/storing a textbook in a classroom.
