Procedures

Book Exchange

Students may check out one library book each week during Media Studies class once the previous book has been returned.

To see which book your child currently has checked out, log in to Destiny Discover and go to My Stuff. Usernames are typically the first part of the student’s school email address, and the password is the student ID number.

Parents/Guardians: Please help your child remember their Media Studies day and choose a safe, consistent place at home for library books.

Book Care

Our library books are shared by many students, so a little care goes a long way.

• Return books on time so others can enjoy them too.

• Report damage if a page tears or a book is damaged. Please don’t try to repair it at home; I have special materials for that.

• Protect your book by keeping it in a safe spot in your backpack.

• Use a bookmark instead of folding page corners.

• Turn pages gently.

• Keep books away from food, drinks, pets, and younger siblings.

• Keep books clean and dry.

Thank you for helping our library books stay in good shape for everyone.

Damaged or Lost Books

Part of using a school library is learning how to care for shared materials and take responsibility for borrowed books.

If a book is lost or damaged beyond repair, families are asked to cover the replacement cost. Payment may be made by cash or check payable to Wedgwood School Fund.

If your child’s book is missing or damaged, please contact me through ParentSquare or by email at mdabrowski@wtps.org, and I’ll let you know the replacement amount.

Grading

Students receive a Media Studies grade twice a year. Grades reflect participation, effort, classwork, and special projects.
