We make every effort to find lost books before payment is requested. Be sure to look anywhere and everywhere — on your bookshelf, in your classroom, under the seats of your car. Books sometimes land in mysterious places.
If you have lost or damaged a book, you will be charged the replacement cost of the book. This allows us to purchase the book again for our collection. A refund will be issued if a lost book is found and returned in good condition.
We would always rather have the book than the money. Payment for lost books should not be sent until a bill is presented.
"Reading Off" a Fine
If paying for a lost or damaged book is a hardship, please consider "Reading Off" your fine. Read 15 minutes for every $1.00 you owe. We will credit your account for your extra reading! See Mrs. Kodet or Mrs. Romportl for the "Read Off" form.
