lost textbook policies

 Students are financially responsible for all textbooks and library books they check out from the library. This means that students must pay for all books that are lost or stolen from their possession. Students keep textbooks in their classrooms at their own risk. Many times a student gets a textbook mixed up with another classmate. When this happens, the student is still responsible for the book he/she checked out. If a student needs to pay for a book, payment plans can be arranged with the library. 

Students will be required to pay the full price of any library book or textbook they have lost. If all library materials and/or textbooks are not returned by the last week of school, students will be billed for the full cost of the books. Students must either pay for the lost books or return them to the library before the next school year starts. If a book is found or returned after it has been paid for, a refund will be issued by EGUSD. Students also have the option to replace the lost textbook on Amazon.com or Half.com with the Lost Textbook Replacement Form below. Please see the Library staff for additional questions. 

The following consequences will be implemented to facilitate books returns or to secure payment for lost, overdue, damaged or stolen books:

• Middle School report cards will be held Terms 1.

• Middle School students will not be able to participate in activities including promotion.

• High School students cannot attend dances, prom, homecoming or senior ball.

• High School students may not be able to participate in graduation rehearsal.

Unlike textbooks, you may not buy a replacement Library book on Amazon or from another retailer. You must pay the replacement fee. Library books are processed in a specific way and need to purchased by the librarian.
